Premier League VAR table: How top flight standings would look without controversial technology after Gameweek 12

VAR has been one of the key talking points of the season so far as we take a break from domestic action to enjoy international football.

The decisions being made by officials have been widely criticised for being too harsh, too lenient or taking too long.

We have seen 29 decisions overturned at Stockley Park thanks to their offside lines and judgements on handballs and tackles.

There are also countless other decisions that have not been overturned by VAR that perhaps should have been.

But we are only interested in how the Premier League landscape could have looked if the technology had not been brought in this season.

There have been 120 games so far and here is how the table would look if no decisions had been overturned by VAR.
