Referee Mark Halsey

Referee Mark Halsey will take charge of Sunday's Barclays Premier League between Blues and Liverpool at St. Andrew's.

The Lancashire-based official has refereed just two games so far this season, during which he has produced four yellow cards.

The last Blues game he took charge of was Blues' 2-0 Championship win against Wolves at St. Andrew's in April 2009.

On that occasion he sent off Lee Carsley for Blues and cautioned a solitary player for Wolves.

Mr Halsey will be assisted by Simon Long from Suffolk and Glenn Turner from Derbyshire.
