Liverpool currently sit fourth in the Premier League table going into Saturday's Merseyside derby against Everton. But without VAR, it would be a different story.
According to a study from ESPN, the Reds would be five points better off and sit two points clear of Arsenal in second. And this is without taking into account Luis Diaz's wrongly ruled-out goal against Tottenham Hotspur last month.

They state: “The biggest decision to go against them came at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, when Curtis Jones was shown a red card in the 26th minute. The score was 0-0 at the time, with Liverpool's recent form slightly better than Spurs' and at that point in the game their xG was higher. With 11 players on the pitch, the VAR Effect gives Liverpool a 1-0 victory - a six-point swing on Tottenham.
