Premier League clubs have all come together in agreement for the implementation of VAR next season.
Video technology was used at the 2018 World Cup in Russia to mixed success, and is also being beta-tested in several major tournaments around the globe.
The introduction of video assistant refereeing (VAR) was designed to help referees and eliminate errors, ensuring less mistakes would be made that would lead to tumultuous results in games

"At a Shareholders’ Meeting today, clubs were provided with an update on the non-live VAR trials being undertaken by the League and Professional Game Match Officials (PGMOL) this season.
"Key learnings from VAR's use in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, and other leagues across the world, were discussed in detail.
"The Premier League’s non-live testing programme will remain in place for the rest of this season, with a continued emphasis on those Saturday afternoons which have several matches being played concurrently, and developing a clear protocol for communicating VAR decisions to fans.
"The League will now formally make a request to the International Football Association Board and FIFA to use VAR next season."
