Arsenal travel to Brighton on Saturday with a curious early-season pattern behind them: VAR has played a significant role in each of their last three Premier League matches.
Darren England will referee the 15:00 BST kick-off at the Amex Stadium, assisted by Scott Ledger and Alistair Nelson. Michael Salisbury is fourth official, with Tim Wood on VAR and James Mainwaring as assistant VAR. 
Three Arsenal matches, three very different VAR stories
The interesting part of Arsenal's recent VAR run is that the incidents have not all been the same type of decision.
Against Aston Villa on 31 August, Arsenal were initially awarded a penalty when Bukayo Saka was fouled by Ian Maatsen. VAR established that the contact had taken place outside the penalty area, sending referee Jarred Gillett to the monitor before the decision was changed to a free-kick.
Later in the same match came a much more significant non-intervention. Maatsen challenged Bruno Guimarães inside the Villa penalty area in stoppage time, but no penalty was awarded and VAR stayed out.
The Premier League's independent Key Match Incidents Panel later voted 5-0 that a penalty should have been given and 5-0 that VAR should have intervened. The panel also concluded that Maatsen's challenge was reckless and should have resulted in a second yellow card.
VarVote examined both incidents in the 1 September VAR Weekend Review.
Chelsea brought a factual VAR overturn
One week later, Arsenal thought Riccardo Calafiori had equalised against Chelsea in the 12th minute.
The goal was awarded on the field before VAR identified Ezri Konsa in an offside position during the build-up. The goal was disallowed.
That was a very different type of review from the Maatsen challenge. There was little argument about an intervention threshold once the relevant offside had been established.
It was one of the incidents covered in VarVote's 8 September Weekend Review.
Then came the Sunderland penalty controversy
Last weekend brought the most disputed decision of the three matches.
Referee John Brooks awarded Sunderland a penalty after judging that Konsa had held Dan Ballard at a corner. VAR checked the incident and confirmed the decision.
David Raya saved Enzo Le Fée's penalty, but Arsenal strongly disputed the call afterwards. Mikel Arteta argued that Ballard had initiated the contact, and Arsenal subsequently sought further clarification from Pro Ref.
The important distinction is that the decision remains disputed rather than officially established as an error. The Premier League Match Centre explained that Brooks saw a holding offence and VAR agreed that the on-field decision should stand.
Arsenal were then awarded a penalty themselves deep into stoppage time when Reinildo Mandava challenged Saka. VAR confirmed both the penalty and the second yellow card that resulted in Reinildo being sent off.
The full Sunderland debate is covered in VarVote's latest VAR Weekend Review.
Brighton have already seen VAR turn yellow into red
Brighton have their own significant VAR experience from this season.
Against Aston Villa on the opening weekend, João Gomes kicked out at Georginio Rutter after losing possession. Referee Peter Bankes initially showed Gomes a yellow card.
VAR Matt Donohue recommended an on-field review. After watching the incident again, Bankes upgraded the punishment to a straight red card for serious foul play.
Unlike some of Arsenal's recent incidents, there was relatively little controversy about the final outcome. It was a straightforward example of VAR identifying a serious incident that the referee had initially punished too leniently.
What happens at the Amex?
There is no reason to assume Brighton v Arsenal will automatically produce another major review. But Arsenal's opening month has already demonstrated several different sides of the system.
VAR has moved a penalty outside the box, failed to intervene on a challenge later judged to meet the clear-and-obvious threshold, removed a goal for offside, supported a disputed holding penalty and confirmed another penalty with a second-yellow dismissal.
Brighton, meanwhile, have already seen a yellow card upgraded to a straight red after a monitor review.
England remains the referee on the pitch today. Wood's job as VAR is not to make every decision again, but to intervene when the protocol requires it.
After three consecutive Arsenal league matches featuring major video-review moments, the question at the Amex is whether VAR finally stays in the background.
