Var To Be Used In Derby Tie

08 February 2019

Brighton & Hove Albion’s Emirates FA Cup fifth-round tie against Derby County at the Amex Stadium on Saturday 16th February, kick-off 12.30pm, will see the use of Video Assistant Referees.
 
It will be the sixth time Albion have been involved in a contest which will use VAR.
 
Albion's Carabao Cup tie against Southampton, the third round tie at AFC Bournemouth and the original fourth round fixture against West Bromwich Albion have all seen the technology used this season.
 
Two matches were chosen to include VAR in Albion's run to the quarter-finals of the competition last season - as Chris Hughton's side came up against Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
