Chelsea are set to experience the latest trial of 'robot referees' at next week's Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.
The Blues will become the first Premier League side to be involved in the trialling of the new technology next week when they travel to Abu Dhabi for the semi-finals.
The new limb-tracking system can make automatic offside decisions within half a second and relies on special cameras attached to the roofs of stadiums to create an animated skeleton of players through 29 data points.
VAR officials will receive a near-instant alert to whether the technology determines a player is onside or not.
