The Swans festive fixture at Reading on 27 December will be officiated by James Linington.
It will be the first time this season that the Isle of Wight official has officiated a Swansea City game.
Referee Linington will be assisted by Daniel Leach and Matthew Jones, with Dean Whitestone the 4th Official for the game which kicks off at 5:15pm at the Select Car Leasing stadium.
James Linington’s record when officiating Swansea City away games doesn’t make for good reading, with the Swans yet to record a victory in their three previous outings.

This will be Linington’s 16th Championship game of the 2022-2023 campaign so far, and he has handed out 60 yellow cards and 2 red cards.
The last Swansea game that Linington officiated, was the 3-0 win over Cardiff City back in October 2021.
He has officiated two Reading games this season however, the away defeat at Watford in November and the home win over Middlesbrough in August – whilst showing the Royals seven yellow cards!
