Premier League clubs will vote on whether to scrap VAR (video assistant referees) from next season at their annual general meeting next month. VAR was introduced to the Premier League in 2019 to help support on-field officials with key match decisions.
The Premier League said it "acknowledged the concerns" about VAR but "fully supports" the technology and will continue to work with referees' body PGMOL to make improvements. Any rule changes need a two-thirds majority - 14 of of the 20 clubs - to vote in favour. The 20 Premier League clubs will vote to scrap VAR at a meeting in Harrogate on 6 June.
Premier League clubs have already voted for semi-automated offside technology to be introduced for the 2024-25 season.
