The Premier League could be about to make the biggest change to the video assistant refereeing technology that could change the game for the better for Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs supporters.
VAR has been a technology that has had mixed reviews since its implementation into the top flight of English football back in 2019. Most of the controversy has not been over the final decision made but the stages in which the conclusion is drawn. All of Mikel Arteta, Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel have ranted about VAR in different ways. Most memorably for Arsenal was that dramatic red card situation involving Gabriel Martinelli at Wolves last season.
Meanwhile, for Arsenal's local north London rivals, a certain penalty against Everton in 2021/22 led to manager Conte admitting that he doesn't 'understand' the process in which the technology itself is implemented. For Chelsea, a certain game against Brighton at Stamford Bridge last term led to a fiery Tuchel labelling the whole process as 'stupid' and 'joke' decision which went against Christian Pulisic and ultimately the Blues as the Seagulls went on to snatch a dramatic draw in SW6.
