Jamie Carragher believes VAR at ‘crisis point’ in Premier League
Jamie Carragher believes that VAR is at a “crisis point” in the Premier League after the shocking error that occurred in the game between Liverpool and Tottenham on Saturday. Liverpool have made a formal request for the audio recording between officials, and PGMOL were forced to issue an apology for a “significant human error” after Luis Diaz scored in the first half only to see the offside flag raised to rule out the goal. “I don’t think the feeling around VAR has ever been lower. I really feel like this is almost a crisis point for VAR in this country,” Carragher said on Sky Sports. “It’s not just on the back of this decision, it’s what’s been happening all over this season. On the first Monday Night Football there was a situation with Wolves at Manchester United.” The Liverpool situation was even more chaotic when it was revealed VAR official Darren England drew lines to check for offside and determined Diaz was on side, but failed to realise the on-field referee Simon Hooper and his assistant officials had initially ruled the goal out for offside. The “check complete” decision then instead of awarding the goal, gave the go-ahead for a restart with a Tottenham free-kick, ruling out Liverpool’s legitimate lead. “I don’t want to pile on an official – or Howard Webb because I imagine they feel absolutely awful the last couple of days,” Carragher continued. “And I’m not into the conspiracy theories about this one favours this team or this one favours that – no one gains anything from this. “We’ve all been there and made mistakes, so we all feel for them but it was a horrendous mistake that isn’t unprecedented and you can’t quite believe the explanation that’s being given. “The bit on this that I’m really struggling with is…the mistake has been made and then play restarts.” Read More Liverpool request VAR audio of match-altering Luis Diaz goal decision Liverpool seek clarification about disallowed goal before deciding on next move The Premier League now faces a credibility ‘crisis’ – and latest VAR farce is just the tip

Manchester United vs Chelsea line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture
Manchester United need only a point to make certain of Champions League qualification as they host Chelsea. Erik ten Hag’s side have already won the Carabao Cup this year, and a win or draw would be enough to ensure the club finish ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League’s top four. It would continue a promising first season under the Dutchman, with another trip to Wembley for the FA Cup final still to come. Chelsea, meanwhile, are certain to finish in the bottom half with Frank Lampard’s time in interim charge almost at an end. Here’s everything you need to know. When is Manchester United vs Chelsea?

British Gas has massively profited from the energy crisis and people are fuming
British Gas has recorded record half-year profits and people are furious. It reported profits of £969m after price cap rises allowed it to make more money from household bills during the energy crisis. About half of the profit was due to the changes to the price cap made by the energy regulator, it has been reported. Price cap rises were brought in to let energy firms make up for losses when wholesale oil and gas prices spiked during the Ukraine invasion but bills were limited by the price cap, British Gas owner Centrica said. But given they have made more than enough money to compensate, people are raging. Here's how people reacted: Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Simon Francis, coordinator of the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, said: "At a time when household energy debt is spiralling to record levels and energy bills remain double what they were just a few years ago, the profits posted will be greeted with disbelief by those struggling through the crisis. "There will of course be questions about how these profits were made, but the reality is that energy firms are operating on a playing field set by the government." Doesn't sound like anyone will be sending British Gas a congratulations card anytime soon... Have your say in our news democracy.
