Leeds United would have finished the Premier League season 15th if standings had been based on the aggregate scores between clubs. The Odds-Comparison.com website have compiled the alternative table, which would have placed the Whites five points clear of relegation - instead of an actual three - and two positions higher above the likes of Wolves and Southampton.
The table also has Liverpool snatching the title from Manchester City, Arsenal claiming a Champions League spot and Burnley staying up at the expense of the Saints. A miserable Manchester United season would have been even worse, meanwhile, with the fallen Old Trafford giants positioned ninth in the placings.
Based on the aggregate results from home and away meetings with every club in the division, Leeds overcame relegated trio Burnley (4-1), Watford (4-0) and Norwich (4-2), illustrating how key the team's performances were against their rivals for the drop over the course of the campaign. The Whites also triumphed over two contests against Wolves (4-3), Crystal Palace (1-0) and Brentford (4-3). Draws, meanwhile, would have been registered against West Ham (4-4) and Brighton (1-1), giving United a total of 20 points, one more than Wolves who finished 10th in the genuine table.
