How the Premier League table would look this season without VAR
VAR remains one of the biggest talking points of the season, despite the best efforts of Manchester United, Tottenham, and Granit Xhaka to overshadow it.
When really we should be focussing on the best and worst performing teams and players, we keep being held up by some, inconsistent at best, rulings by officials on and off the pitch.
We've already seen 26 decisions overturned by Stockley Park thanks to their offside lines and their extra adjudication on tackles and handballs.
But just how much has VAR changed the landscape of the Premier League?
We're 100 games into the season, which isn't a bad sample size, and as part of their story regarding the possibility of referees now using pitchside monitors to make decisions, have worked out how the table would look had decisions not been altered by officials off the pitch.
You can see the full table below.
