The video assistant referee officials involved in wrongly disallowing a goal for Liverpool at Tottenham have not been selected for this weekend\u2019s Premier League games.<\/p>\n

Darren England and assistant Dan Cook did not overrule on Saturday when Luis Diaz was wrongly flagged offside.<\/p>\n

The on-field referee from that game, Simon Hooper, will be the VAR official for Bournemouth\u2019s trip to Everton.<\/p>\n

Michael Oliver, who was the fourth official, will feature in two games.<\/p>\n

Oliver will be VAR official for Luton\u2019s game against Tottenham on Saturday, before taking charge on the field for Arsenal\u2019s game against Manchester City on Sunday.<\/p>\n

England and Cook were stood down from duty for the rest of last weekend because of the mistake at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, described by referees\u2019 governing body PGMOL\u2019s as a \u201csignificant human error\u201d.<\/p>\n

Liverpool, who went down to a 2-1 defeat, criticised PGMOL\u2019s response to the controversial incident, saying the explanation was \u201cunacceptable\u201d and \u201csporting integrity has been undermined\u201d.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the club made a formal request for the audio recordings between the match officials, to better understand how the breakdown in communication happened.<\/p>\n
