Appointments made for Saturday’s fixture.
Donohue, a former assistant, traded the flag for the whistle in 2016, ascending through the ranks from non-league to officiate in the Premier League, where he officiated two games near the conclusion of last season.
When the Greater Manchester-based official oversees their matches, the Whites have an amazing record of three wins, one tie, and one loss.
Donohue, who recently led Leeds to a 2-0 win against Queens Park Rangers in November, will make a brief return to Elland Road on Saturday. Jayden Bogle and Joël Piroe scored the goals.
Visiting Derby County, meanwhile, has won four of their seven Donohue-refereed meetings, previously defeating Cardiff City at Pride Park earlier this season.
Donohue has overseen ten Sky Bet Championship games and one Carabao Cup fixture this season, with Premier League side Crystal Palace defeating Norwich City 4-0 at Selhurst Park.
