New Premier League table without VAR: Shock changes for Arsenal and Chelsea as Tottenham, West Ham and Crystal Palace ranked

Arsenal sit top of the Premier League table on Christmas Day and Mikel Arteta’s side will hope this is finally the year they get over the line and are crowned champions.

The Gunners host Brighton on Sunday a few hours after rivals Manchester City are in action at Nottingham Forest. Elsewhere, Chelsea take on in-form Aston Villa looking to keep their top-four hopes in tact.

There are two London derbies this weekend with West Ham hosting Fulham and Tottenham making the trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace. Brentford take on Bournemouth.

Things are finely poised in the title race, top four and the battle for a European spot- but how might the table look without the use of VAR?

We crunched the numbers by deducting or adding points depending on how goals given or ruled out by VAR would have impacted a final result. It also includes goals scored if VAR awarded a penalty.

Let’s take a look...
