Manchester United are closing in on a top four finish, while Manchester City are on course for another title, but where would the two teams be without VAR?

Erik ten Hag’s men have had a season of ups and downs, but they have improved significantly from last season, and despite defeat to Brighton on Thursday, they remain on course to secure a top four finish, and with it, Champions League football for next season.

VAR was called upon late in the fixture after a handball was spotted by Luke Shaw with Alexis Mac Allister firing home the penalty.

Meanwhile, City have their title destiny in their own hands following a superb run of form of late. But where would City and United be if VAR wasn’t being used in the Premier League this season?

We take a look below, starting with the bottom club. The data is calculated by only taking into account the decisions overturned on the pitch that have led to goals being given or ruled out.
