• PGMOL happy with improvements to delayed technology
• Seven of eight FA Cup ties are at Premier League grounds

Semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) is to be trialled in the FA Cup fifth round next month with a view to it being introduced in the Premier League before the end of the season.

The Guardian has learned that the Football Association has agreed to run an experiment with the new technology, which has been delayed because of teething problems in the testing process.
