Video Assistant Referee (VAR) has undoubtedly had an impact on fans’ emotions over the course of the 2019/20 Premier League season, as it has also decided the final outcome of a lot of games during the season.
Analysis by Express Sport has revealed how the table would look if the extra official had not been in place each week.
Liverpool – as expected – would still be Premier League title-winners but the gap between Jurgen Klopp’s men and Pep Guardiola’s City would be smaller.
The Reds would have had five points fewer than the 99 they really amassed in 2019/20, while City would have six more if VAR wasn’t around.
Manchester United, meanwhile, would slip a place lower to fourth, with Chelsea leapfrogging them to take third behind the north-west pace-setters.
Wolves would have been the biggest benefactors of there being no VAR in the Premier League as they would have gained seven more points and booked a guaranteed place in the Europa League along with it.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side would have leaped over Leicester and Tottenham, who would drop down to sixth and 10th respectively.
Norwich, Bournemouth and Watford would have still made up the bottom three, with the Canaries slightly closer to the teams above them on 23 points.
