Premier League set to introduce three new rules for next season... including changes to use of VAR pitchside monitors, handball rule - and keepers coming off their lines for penalties

Football's law-makers have made three big changes to the rules for next season's Premier League, including the use of VAR pitchside monitors.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) regularly convene to discuss controversial rulings in the game and to decide whether they need to be changed.

With the majority of the first season of VAR complete in the Premier League, it has been decided that a number of rule changes will be made ahead of next season.

From next season, Premier League refs will be expected to use VAR pitchside screens more

The first involves VAR pitchside monitors, and the change is likely to see referees spending far more time looking at their screens by the side of the pitch.
