The show will include audio material of communication between referees and VARRex
Webb is keen to increase transparency and was instrumental in the creation of that planned 30-minute show on Sky.
The groundbreaking programme will also include a major element that fans have been calling for.
Sky Sports will share audio recording from the communication between referees and VAR officials.
The aim is to help clubs and fans understand how decisions are reached via VAR and reduce confusion as well as animosity.
The pilot programme will include interaction between the on-field officials and VAR.
The first episode will focus on Liverpool‘s clash with Leicester at King Power Stadium next Monday.
This comes after several incidents involving Premier League managers lashing out at referees and VAR.
The most recent high-profile incident took place two weeks ago during Liverpool’s dramatic 4-3 win over Tottenham at Anfield.

An irate Jurgen Klopp charged towards fourth official John Brooks following Diogo Jota’s last-gasp winner, with the German then being given a caution by referee Paul Tierney.
Klopp’s emotions also spilled over during his post-match interviews, with the German tactician being slapped with an FA charge for his comments.
The Liverpool boss outraged refs’ chiefs with his claim that Tierney had something against his side.
