VAR has been a constant talking point ever since it was introduced into the English game back in the 19/20 season.

Since the introduction of the technology, every goal scored has been analysed to the finest detail.

On multiple occasions, goals have been ruled out by the tiniest marginal offsides the game has ever seen.

As the 22/23 season reaches its mid-way point, a Premier League table without VAR has been revealed.

VAR can go both ways as some teams have benefited more than others. For example, if VAR was not used, According to ESPN, Liverpool would find themselves in a worse position than they are in now.

Jurgen Klopp’s sides would be six points off their current total if VAR was not in use. The Anfield club have seen four goals ruled out for their opponents, which is more than any other club in the Premier League.

In recent matches, Liverpool have seen goals scored by Chelsea and Everton chalked off due to marginal offsides.

Aston Villa were a close second as they have gained four points through VAR decisions, with Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Brentford gaining three points thanks to the technology.

On the other hand, Leeds United have been dealt some major blows by VAR.
