Is VAR in operation at Sunday's FA Cup game?
The Football Association has clarified the situation regarding the use of VAR across the Emirates FA Cup third round.
Manchester United face Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Sunday, kicking off at 16:30 GMT.
There will be no video-assistant referees in place for this and the next phase of the competition, nor will semi-automated offside technology be called upon to decide any tight calls.
This mirrors last season's stance, when they only came into operation from the fifth round onwards.
However, the offside system will only be in place at games being held in Premier League stadiums from that point.
Goalline technology is being used for all matches this weekend played at top-flight and Championship grounds, including our fixture.
Extra-time and penalties will follow if the teams are level, with United edging past the Seagulls on spot-kicks in our last FA Cup clash against them, in the 2023 semi-final at Wembley.
We also exited the competition last season via this route, against Fulham.
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that the fourth-round draw will be held on Monday night, in advance of Liverpool's home tie with Barnsley.
TNT Sports will be showing it live from around 18:35 GMT, with the Reds striving to ensure we are part of it.
