VAR Officials Darren England and Daniel Cook are to return to Premier League duty for the first time since their error during Liverpool’s defeat at Tottenham.
England and Cook were the VAR and assistant VAR when Luis Diaz’s goal for Liverpool was incorrectly ruled out for offside in their 2-1 loss last month.
The pair were stood down for two later matches that same weekend and excluded from the following round of fixtures.
England will be the fourth official as Brentford host Burnley on Saturday.
Cook has been named as an assistant referee for Sheffield United’s home game with Manchester United, also on Saturday.
Audio recordings of discussions between the match officials around Diaz’s disallowed goal were made public by refereeing body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL).
The goal was disallowed on the field by referee Simon Hooper and VAR England said the check was “perfect”, before swearing when he realised a mistake had been made.
Referees’ chief Howard Webb said steps have been taken to avoid a repeat of the controversy.
Hooper will also return for the first time since the error. He will function as the VAR for Newcastle’s home game against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Michael Oliver will be the referee as Manchester United visit Bramall Lane on Saturday.
Earlier this month, Oliver opted not to send off Manchester City’s Mateo Kovacic for a challenge on Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, with Webb later saying the Croatia midfielder had been “extremely fortunate” to stay on the field.
