Manchester City are currently in a heated battle with Arsenal and Liverpool for the title this season, while Manchester United are struggling to get back into the top four race. A new table has been created which calculates the results without the influence of VAR, focusing on the original decisions made by the referees on the pitch. This table shows where each team would rank based on these original decisions.

Sheffield United is placed at the bottom of the table with 13 points without VAR, Burnley follows in 19th place with 19 points, and Nottingham Forest in 18th with 20 points (after a points deduction). Luton Town is just above the relegation zone in 17th place with 23 points without VAR. This new table provides a different perspective on how the teams are performing based on the decisions made without the technology of VAR.

As the race for the title and top four spots heats up in the Premier League, the impact of VAR continues to be a topic of discussion. The new table without VAR provides an interesting look at how teams would be ranked if the decisions were left solely up to the referees on the pitch. It will be crucial for City and United to continue to perform at their best as the season progresses and they compete for their respective goals in the league.
