Semi-automated offside technology (SOAT) was due to be introduced after one of Autumn's international breaks - but its implementation has once again delayed.
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has explained that the introduction of semi-automated offside technology in the Premier League has now been "put on the back-burner" as its reliability continues to be tested before being brought into competitive play.
ESPN had earlier reported that the Premier League intended to part ways with Hawk-Eye and, in August, it was confirmed that Genius Sports would take over as a supplier for SOAT. This advanced system deploys cameras to monitor thousands of data points on players and the ball, assisting in determining offside decisions.
"They're moving from one company to another, they've got to get it 100 per cent right. It's been trialled offline. They feel that it's not quite right at the moment."
