He will be assisted by Marvyn Amphlett and Derek Eaton. The 4th official will be Andy Woolmer.
Records show Mr Haywood's first Cardiff game was a 2 - 1 win for City at Preston in Dec 2007.
It will be his first visit to Cardiff City Stadium. Last season he was in charge of Watford 4 - 1 Cardiff. A match that saw Malky Mackay's Watford rip Dave Jones' Bluebirds to shreds.
So far this season he's issued 23 yellow cards in nine games and no reds.
