The FA Cup’s third-round fixtures held at Premier League grounds in January will see three VARs working on each game rather than the usual two.

As well as the VAR and AVAR, a Support VAR – shortened to SVAR – will join the officiating team.

It is a potential precursor to the Premier League adding an extra body into the Stockley Park booth in the future with PGMOL boss Howard Webb looking at how to improve the accuracy of VAR.

IT’S ALL KICKING OFF! 

It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, with a show every Monday and Thursday this season.

It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify

The FA say the SVAR will help by ‘evaluating incidents and assisting with the communication between the officials’, adding that this is a role that has been regularly utilised in FIFA and UEFA competitions.

Rebecca Welch, who will become the Premier League’s first female referee when she takes charge of Fulham versus Burnley on Saturday, has been appointed QPR against Bournemouth in the FA Cup. 

Sam Allison, who is set to become the first black referee in the top flight since Uriah Rennie in 2008, will oversee Peterborough versus Leeds in the cup.
