The likely decision of Premier League clubs when it comes to voting on a proposal to scrap VAR next season has been revealed in a new report.
Wolves tabled the proposal on Wednesday, which will be discussed at the Premier League's Annual General Meeting (AGM) next month.
The West Midlands side have also listed a number of reasons as to why they have submitted the proposal, which range from the impact on goal celebrations to 'diminished accountability of on-field officials'.

They also claim that VAR has caused 'erosion of trust and reputation, with VAR fuelling completely nonsensical allegations of corruption'.
Newcastle star Anthony Gordon admitted on Wednesday evening that he 'did not get the point' of VAR after not being awarded a penalty in the 3-2 defeat against Manchester United - although added he had yet to read the news of Wolves' proposal at that point.
Discussion surrounding the benefits and drawbacks of VAR, though, has increased this season, with officials from Nottingham Forest and Burnley among those to hit out at the technology.

However, according to a new report from Sky Sports, a majority of Premier League clubs want to keep VAR - with Liverpool said to be among the leading clubs in favour of the technology.
It is added, though, that some of those clubs are still displeased with the current state of VAR, and want major improvements to be made in the upcoming seasons.

Some clubs reportedly feel that scrapping VAR 'would be counterproductive and damage the standing of the Premier League'.

There also may not be a vote, with Sky claiming that, while there will be a discussion over Wolves' proposal, it may not proceed to a vote if it is clear that there is not enough support from the other 19 Premier League clubs.
In total, 13 of those 19 clubs would have to vote to scrap VAR for the proposal to be passed by the Premier League next season.
But the PGMOL has already gained a unanimous authorisation from the clubs to introduce semi-automated offsides - used at the 2022 World Cup to much acclaim - next season, while they also want to bring in on-pitch communication between officials and fans over key decisions.
