Referee Chris Kavanagh and his assistant Nick Greenhalgh have not been selected for a Premier League game this weekend.

The pair were heavily criticised for their decisions in the fourth round FA Cup tie between Aston Villa and Newcastle United on Saturday, in which there was no video assistant referee.

VAR will not be brought in until the fifth round.

Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) bases its selections on factors including post-match performance assessments conducted by an independent Key Match Incidents panel, ensuring accountability for officials.

Among the errors, Kavanagh and Greenhalgh missed a clear offside against Tammy Abraham for Villa's opening goal.

A potential red card for Lucas Digne for a challenge on Jacob Murphy was missed, along with a possible offside against Dan Burn on Newcastle's equaliser.

But it was the Digne non-penalty decision that really left most speechless.

The Villa full-back was two yards inside the penalty area when he was penalised for a handball, but Kavanagh and Greenhalgh decided the offence was a yard outside the area and awarded a free-kick - from which Newcastle's Sandro Tonali scored the 63rd-minute equaliser.
