EFL Cup final to serve as testing ground for experiments—what’s happening?

On March 16, Newcastle and Liverpool will face off in the EFL Cup final at Wembley. The match will also feature an experiment organized by the English Football League (EFL).

Details: According to The Mirror, both clubs have been informed by the EFL that the trial of announcing VAR decisions to the stadium audience will continue during the final, following its initial test in the two semi-final matches.

This means that all VAR decisions at Wembley will be verbally announced by the on-field referee to fans in the stadium.

Reminder: Previously, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe urged his team to stay focused on the Premier League, warning that if they lose momentum, their season could be over by the time they reach the EFL Cup final against Liverpool.
