Here’s where Aston Villa and Wolves stand in the Premier League table without VAR.
As things stand, Villa are 6th in the league table, while Wolves are 19th. But where would they stand in the Premier League if VAR had not been implemented? Today, that’s exactly what we’re going to look at.
Any decisions made by VAR that directly affected the result of a match will not be considered and the points awarded will be redistributed. Where do you think Wolves and the Villans will land?
Full Premier League table without VAR
20th - Southampton, 6 points (+1)
VAR had a role to play as the Saints threw away a 2-0 lead against Leicester City. One of the Foxes' three goals came after VAR deemed that Ryan Fraser had pulled Jamie Vardy back, the veteran striker scoring from the spot kick
19th - Ipswich Town, 7 points (-2)
Would have shared a point with Spurs rather than claiming all three if Dominic Solanke’s goal had stood.
18th - Wolves, 10 points (+1)
Wolves would have claimed a point at Manchester City if VAR had not intervened and ruled that John Stones' 95th-minute winner should stand.
17th - Leicester City, 11 points (-3)
Struggling Leicester City would be even worse off without VAR this season.
16th - West Ham, 13 points (-2)
Benefited from that late penalty against Manchester United, which Jarrod Bowen converted, to pick up an extra two points thanks to VAR.
15th - Everton, 14 points
14th - Crystal Palace, 15 points (+2)
The Eagles have not been friends of VAR this season with the system costing them two points.
13th- Newcastle United, 18 points (-2)
The Magpies earned a draw at Bournemouth but only after VAR intervened to rule out a late winner for the home side. Everton also had a goal ruled out by VAR.
12th - Manchester United, 20 points (+1)
The Red Devils would have likely picked up at least an extra point with a draw against Brighton should a Joshua Zirkzee goal have stood. Instead, it was ruled out for offside.
11th- Tottenham Hotspur, 21 points (+1)
Would have picked up a point against Ipswich Town if Dominic Solanke's goal had stood.
10th - Fulham, 22 points (-1)
Wouldn't have picked up a point against Arsenal last weekend if Bukayo Saka's goal had stood.
9th - Brentford, 23 points
8th- Brighton, 24 points
7th- Nottingham Forest, 25 points
6th - Aston Villa, 25 points
The Villains were awarded a penalty against Crystal Palace thanks to VAR, but Youri Tielemans saw his spot kick saved anyway.
5th- AFC Bournemouth, 26 points (+2)
It's been an impressive campaign from the Cherries, who would have even more points if VAR wasn't in place.
4th - Manchester City, 25 points (-2)
The Champions would be two points worse off without VAR as the system helped award the John Stones winner against Wolves
3rd - Chelsea, 30 points (-1)

2nd - Arsenal, 33 points (+4)
The Gunners would have an extra four points if Kai Havertz's opener against Chelsea had stood, as well as Bukayo Saka's winner at Craven Cottage.
