, external<\/span><\/a> on social media platform X will post “near-live” explanations of VAR decisions.<\/p>\nIt plans to show more replays and explain decisions on the big screens in stadiums, too.<\/p>\n
We will see a significant drop in stoppage time this season – because of a change in timing goal celebrations.<\/p>\n
Until now time was added on for every second between the ball hitting the net and the kick-off being taken.<\/p>\n
Now the clock will only be started after 30 seconds. So a game with six goals would have three minutes less of stoppage time.<\/p>\n
Away from VAR, attacking players blocking or obstructing opposition players at a set-piece will be penalised more strictly. <\/p>\n
Ben White was trending on social media with the suggestion the Arsenal defender’s actions from corners will result in more opposition free-kicks. <\/p>\n
The handball law will be relaxed a tad. Players have been told by the Premier League they do not have to move with their arms rigidly by their sides or behind their backs.<\/p>\n
The position of their arm or hand will be judged in relation to the movement of their body.<\/p>\n
“We get a sense that we give too many handballs for actions that are quite normal and justifiable,” said Webb. <\/p>\n
“The guidance to officials this season is less is more. You will see fewer harsh handball penalties.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a non-deliberate handball that leads to a penalty will no longer be an automatic booking offence.<\/p>\n
During penalties the ball must be on or hanging over the centre of the penalty spot, rather than at any point on the spot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
