In its first season in use in the Premier League, Video Assistant Referees have earned plenty of headlines for a number of high-profile decisions.
Whether it was Gabriel Jesus's last-minute winner against Tottenham being chalked off for handball, to the anger of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, or Roberto Firmino's armpit being deemed to be offside in their thriller away to Aston Villa, VAR has made its presence known.
And so, if VAR was not available in the Premier League this season, just how would the current standings look? Research by ESPN, in conjunction with the London School of Economics found out that the title race would be far more exciting, rock-bottom Norwich would be equal on points with the team in 16th place, while Manchester United would drop down to ninth.
