VAR officials will watch key incidents three times

Video Assistant Referees will finally make their debut in the Premier League this season, along with a mid-season break and a range of rule changes, but fans are being promised the end product won’t look too different.

VAR has been a long time coming considering it has already been widely used in other areas of the world, but Premier League officials believe the wait was worth it, allowing them to adjust the technology and the system to suit the pace and traditions of English football.
