The Premier League are considering making further changes to their use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system which could to impact Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham next season
The Premier League are set to introduce more cameras focusing on each penalty area of the pitch next season to improve the accuracy of the Hawk-Eye system. This comes after a number of incorrect decisions being made this season, impacting the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.
There have been a number of other incidents where there has been doubt due to cameras being obscured or not at the ideal angle. A report from The Athletic has revealed that the Premier League are now looking to add a further four additional cameras that focus on each penalty area to improve accuracy of decisions.
The report adds that trials of FIFA’s semi-automated offside system, which was used at the World Cup in Qatar, are likely to take place. However, the Premier League feel that route is less effective as images take longer to come through which could lead to longer delays on decisions and cause further frustration amongst fans at stadiums.
The decision to add more cameras to help aid VAR's accuracy in decisions will need to be approved by at least 14 of the Premier League’s 20 clubs.
