Video Assistant Referees (VAR) will be back on the agenda when Premier League shareholders meet in London on Thursday.

Top flight clubs voted against the introduction of VAR from 2018-19 in April following several high profile controversies during trials of the technology in domestic cup competitions.

Clubs voted unanimously against its use in England's top flight, instead agreeing to "continue advanced testing" of VAR.

And the League is due to update clubs on the progress of VAR testing. It comes just days after controversial officiating overshadowed fixtures between Southampton and Watford, and Fulham and Liverpool.

Saints striker Charlie Austin demanded the introduction of VAR after their 1-1 draw with Watford on Saturday, claiming referees "clearly need help" after Southampton's second goal was controversially chalked off.

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic also had a goal disallowed at Anfield on Sunday when he appeared to be in an onside position.

"Don’t get me wrong, they’re human beings — they make mistakes — but they need help to avoid situations like this," Mitrovic said.

VAR is used in France, Germany, Italy and Spain, and Thursday's talks could prompt another vote on its introduction in the English top flight, with Premier League clubs due to meet again in February.

Thursday's meeting will be Richard Scudamore's last as executive chairman as he prepares to make way for Susanna Dinnage, whose appointment was announced on Tuesday.

Scudamore is due to receive a £5million parting gift, with each Premier League club contributing £250,000 to the fund. The 59-year-old is reportedly embarrassed about the gesture, which has come about following a request to clubs from Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck.

The payment will not be on the agenda at Thursday's meeting.
