West Midlands Referee Oliver Langford has been appointed as the man in the middle for the Swans re-arranged home game with Luton Town at the Swansea dot com stadium on Tuesday evening.
This will be Langford’s second Swansea City appointment of the season, having also been the referee for the Swans 2-1 defeat at Birmingham City last October.
Langford will be assisted by Daniel Leech and Matthew Jones, with Steve Cooper’s old friend – Andy Woolmer – the 4th Official for the game.
Unfortunately, Oliver Langford’s statistics as a referee don’t make for good reading for Swansea fans, with him yet to officiate a Swans win or draw at the Swansea dot com stadium.
Oliver Langford EFL Championship Record

Langford has officiated three Luton Town games to date, the 2-1 home defeat to Cardiff, the 2-2 draw at Blackburn and the 1-0 win at Barnsley.
He has however brandished 10 yellow cards to Luton players during those three games!
