Manchester City's crunch Premier League trip to Arsenal on Wednesday will have a new VAR official following a controversial top-flight weekend.
John Brooks has been replaced by David Coote for the top-of-the-table clash after wrongly disallowing a Brighton goal against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Brooks was also due to be the VAR for Monday night's Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton but Andre Marriner will now take over.
Brooks ruled out a goal by Pervis Estupinan after drawing the offside lines against the wrong Palace player, one of two major offside errors by VARs during Saturday’s action. The other involved dedicated VAR Lee Mason, who failed to check an offside in the build-up to Ivan Toney’s equaliser for Brentford at Arsenal.
