Premier League table without VAR and how it impacts top-four and relegation battles

VAR remains a point of contention in the Premier League, with PGMOL chief Howard Webb forced to apologise to clubs on numerous occasions this season for costly errors.

Webb even spearheaded an emergency meeting with clubs back in February in an attempt to stamp out the errors after three blunders were made in a single day of Premier League action.

However, the PGMOL insist that VAR has had a positive impact on the sport and recently published a report claiming its use has markedly improved since the World Cup. The report states that since the tournament, there has been one incorrect VAR intervention every 37.5 games as opposed to one ever 24.3 games before the World Cup.
