The referee has been announced for Chelsea's opening home game of the 2019/2020 Premier League season against Leicester City.
And it's fantastic news for Frank Lampard as he bids to win the first game of his reign as head coach.
It was Maurizio Sarri in charge the last time Foxes visited Stamford Bridge in a game which finished 1-0 to the visitors thanks to Jamie Vardy's winner.
In fact, the Foxes have a brilliant recent record against the Blues having not lost or conceded a single goal in the last three Premier League meetings.
Hopes of Chelsea bringing that record to a halt on Sunday afternoon have been somewhat boosted following news of the referee appointment.
Graham Scott will take charge of the clash at Stamford Bridge and the Blues did have a good record when he was the man in the middle in last season.
The 40-year-old oversaw two Chelsea games in the Premier League in 2018/2019 - vs Brighton & Hove Albion and Fulham and the Blues won them both.
Lampard will hope this record continues otherwise short his tenure as Blues head coach could read three games without a victory.
Worryingly, the Foxes have won their last three games when Scott has been in charge, although it's almost a decade since they won a game away from home with him as referee.
Overall, the official from Oxfordshire has refereed four games across all competitions involving the Blues ever since his first in 2014 and that's yielded not a single defeat for Chelsea.
Ian Hussin and Richard Westare the assistant referees, with Oliver Langford on fourth official duty at Stamford Bridge.
VAR will also be in use with Mike Dean and Dan Robathan undertaking those duties.
