The Premier League’s vote over if to abolish the Video Assistant Referee, VAR, from next season is set to trigger two changes to match officiating.
According to Daily Mail, Wolves’ attempt to scrap VAR after five seasons could fail.
However, the pressure could be used to oversee change in its operation.
Firstly, in-stadium communication of VAR will be introducted.
Secondly, a number of clubs believe the choices of referees could be broadened to allow Europe’s elite officials to referee matches.
Clubs are expected to vote on the future of VAR at the Premier League’s AGM on June 6 in Harrogate.
Any rule change requires a majority 14 of 20 members to agree for it to pass.
