Referee Andre Marriner appointed EPL's first VAR ahead of Liverpool vs Norwich

Referee Andre Marriner is set to become the first video assistant referee (VAR) after the officials were announced for Liverpool's Premier League clash with Norwich.

Premier League clubs voted to introduce VAR from the start of this season last November with goals, penalties, red cards and cases of mistaken identity to be reviewed by the technology.

Each referee will also be supported by a team of VAR assistants at Stockley Park, the Premier League match officials' base, who will advise them on those situations, but the in-stadium referees will also be able to review decisions through a television screen on the touchline.

To aid communication within stadiums, graphics will also be displayed to explain when a decision is being reviewed - and as appropriate and where possible, the Premier League has announced video clips will be shown on screens to explain the reasons behind a decision being made too.
