Watch: Slot not a fan of in-stadium VAR announcements

Liverpool manager Arne Slot says he is not a fan of in-stadium VAR announcements as he fears they will increase the pressure on referees.

The initiative is being trialled by the English Football League during the League Cup semi-finals, with the second legs taking place this week.

Referees announce the final decision following a visit to the VAR pitchside monitor or at the “conclusion of factual matters such as accidental handball by a goalscorer or offside judgements”.

Only the final decision is announced to supporters.

Slot, whose in-form team will seek to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg when they host Tottenham at Anfield on Thursday, voiced doubts about the potential change.
