MEN Sport takes a look at the changes that will be implemented. "They will check that the point of contact with the ball and automated offside line have been correctly recorded. The VAR will then inform the on-field officials if an offside has been recorded."
Stoppage time In terms of stoppage time, the Premier League has announced that additional time will only be added for a goal scored if the delay between the goal and kick-off exceeds 30 seconds. This could lead to a significant reduction in stoppage time throughout the season. Substitutes The number of substitutes allowed to warm up on the sidelines at any one time will increase from three to five, aligning with the rule that teams can make five substitutions during a match.
VAR change In a significant development termed 'Referee's Call', officials are set to stick with the on-field referee's decision unless there is evidence of a clear and obvious error concerning the VAR judgement. Under this scheme, VAR will review penalty situations and fouls without pressing the referee to overturn a decision that seems subjective.
