English Football Association (FA) general secretary Alex Horne believes the Premier League will approve the introduction of goal-line technology from next season at a meeting this week.
.
Horne told the BBC he thought the equipment was always an "ideal piece of technology to allow into the game" ahead of the Premier League clubs meeting on Thursday.
.
"I'm expecting it to go through at that meeting," Horne said on Tuesday.
.
The FA want technology to be officially introduced at the pre-season Community Shield fixture after lobbying for its inclusion for some time, sanctioning its testing at an England v Belgium international friendly last June.
.
Wembley and the 20 Premier League stadiums would have the equipment installed should it be approved.
.
Last week, world governing body Fifa chose German- based GoalControl as the official goal-line technology provider for the Confederations Cup in Brazil in June.
.
"Technology that says 'yes, the ball has crossed the line' and lets the referee know makes an awful lot of sense to me," Horne added.
.
"Particularly where it's a knock-out situation, incorrect decisions have less opportunity to even themselves out over a season."

Goal-line technology was used at the Club World Cup in Japan at the end of last year.
