The Premier League is prepared to formally lobby football's rule-makers for a change in the handball law.
They want to avoid a repeat of the Eric Dier handball incident that caused such controversy at the end of Tottenham's Premier League meeting with Newcastle on 27 September.
A spate of handball decisions have led to fierce criticism across the game since the rules were changed.
Dier called the new handball rulings a "massive problem".
The league is understood to be keen on altering the section of the law which states that handball must be awarded if the ball strikes the hand or arm when it is above shoulder level, as was the case with Dier.
