All eyes on Hawk-Eye for first visit to Fleetwood Town after Premier League blunder

Oliver Norwood of Sheffield United could not believe that goal-line technology failed to award his 'goal' against Aston Villa

Joey Barton has made massive improvements says Nathan Pond

The technology was installed earlier this week and will be at Fleetwood to stay if they win the four-team play-off tournament as the Hawk-Eye system is used in all Championship matches.

Goal-line technology was introduced to English football for the 2013-14 season and had a near perfect record until last month's return of Premier League action.

Sheffield United were denied a clear goal in their 0-0 draw with Aston Villa, when the technology failed to notify referee Michael Oliver that the ball had crossed the line. The system 'lagged' and only alerted Oliver during the half-time break.

Town have used goal-line technology before, in their FA Cup third-round replay at Leicester City in January 2018. It was not in use for the initial tie at Highbury.

That replay was the first game in England to see a goal awarded by VAR, when Kelechi Iheanacho's second sealed the Foxes' 2-0 win.

The play-offs will see each team allowed five substitutions instead of the usual three. But to avoid extra stoppages, a team can only halt play three times to make substitutions, though they can also make changes at half-time.
