The Swans Championship encounter at Bristol City on Sunday will be officiated by Lancashire match official Matthew Donohue.
Paul Hodskinson and Lee Venamore will aid referee Donohue, and Stephen Martin will serve as the game’s fourth official at Ashton Gate.
Donohue will officiate Swansea City games for the fourth time this season; this will be his second away Swansea City game of the year.
Donohue played a pivotal role in the Swans’ recent 2-2 draw with Birmingham City, their December home loss to Middlesbrough, and their August Carabao Cup Second Round loss to AFC Bournemouth.
Considering that this is Matthew Donohue’s sixth away game of his career, his record for Swansea City games is generally interesting to read.
