Liverpool involved in major VAR review with Howard Webb set to break silence

Liverpool's trip to Leicester City on Monday could feature a VAR first as Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) chief Howard Webb will reportedly be a guest in the Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football studio.

The technology has frequently been under the spotlight since its introduction in the English top-flight. This season, in particular, there have been growing calls for the audio between the match referee and the officials at Stockley Park to be aired in a bid for more clarity over contentious decisions.

In a report from The Mirror, it claims that the Premier League will trial letting spectators hear conversations between the referee and VAR officials for the first time since the introduction of the technology with Webb joining pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville from 6:30pm, an hour-and-a-half before kick-off at the King Power Stadium.
