VAR for Chelsea v Cardiff


Cardiff City’s game at Chelsea will be one of five Premier League games this weekend in which video assistant referee (VAR) technology will be tested.

After its use in FA Cup matches and across Europe last summer, as well as during the World Cup in the summer, the Premier League have decided to trial VAR.

In April, Premier League sides voted against using VAR during the 2018/19 season.

But using a central VAR hub, this weekend will see five matches used as guinea pigs - including the Bluebirds’ contest at Stamford Bridge.

It will be interesting to see what Cardiff boss Neil Warnock, as well as his opposite number Maurizio Sarri, make of the technology.
