The Premier League's new semi-automated VAR offside technology (SAOT) will be used for the first time in the FA Cup fifth round.
It's almost a year since clubs unanimously voted to bring in the technology, which is intended to reduce the time taken for an offside check by an average of 31 seconds.
A series of delays in testing has meant the technology has not yet been introduced, but last week Tony Scholes, the Premier League's chief football officer, said "significant progress" had been made and he was hopeful it would still come before the end of the campaign.
VAR was not in operation this season in the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup, but it will be used in all eight fixtures in the fifth round, which will be played on the weekend of March 1. This will also include announcing VAR outcomes to the stadium, as tested in the Carabao Cup semifinals.
However, SAOT will only be used at the seven Premier League grounds hosting ties. Preston North End vs. Burnley, the only fixture not being played at a top-flight ground, will have the old technology.
"Video Assistant Referees [VAR] will be active across all eight ties in the Fifth Round of this season's Emirates FA Cup," a joint statement issued by the Premier League, The FA and PGMOL said. "This will include in-stadium VAR announcements where match officials will announce their final decision in relation to reviewed incidents to provide improved clarity and understanding for spectators and viewers.
"The FA Cup Fifth Round will also utilise Semi-Automated Offside Technology in all seven matches taking place in Premier League stadiums, which is the first time it will be used live in competitive matches in English football.

Very convenient draw for the roll out...
