Here, we look at the Premier League table without VAR to see where Aston Villa and Wolves would rank.

Aston Villa and Wolves are both enjoying fine campaigns, but where would they be without VAR? Unai Emery's men are bidding to secure Champions League qualification this term, while Wolves are now inside the top half despite being relegation candidates, according to many coming out of the summer.

But how would the Premier League look if VAR did not exist? We have calculated the latest table by taking any decisions that led to goals that were awarded by VAR and going with the decision made by the on-field referee. Take a look below to see where Villa and Wolves rank in the alternative table.
