Premier League table without VAR: Where Brighton, Chelsea, Tottenham and Man United would sit

As the Premier League machine pauses for the international break, Brighton are sixth in the table having recorded three wins and one loss in their first four fixtures of the new campaign.

A 4-1 opening day victory against newly-promoted Luton Town was swiftly followed by the same 4-1 score line as they thumped Wolves at Molineux.

The only defeat so far came against West Ham as David Moyes' team were in ruthless mood to record a 3-1 triumph at the American Express Stadium.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi promised his side would hit back and they did so in emphatic fashion with 3-1 win against Eddie Howe's Newcastle thanks to a stunning hat-trick from 18-year-old striker Evan Ferguson. It was a fine display from Ferguson and it has since prompted rumours of champions Man City preparing a mega-money transfer for the Ireland international.

Brighton resume their league campaign on September 16 at Erik ten Hag's Man United. Ten Hag's team have had a stuttering start to the season and last time out lost 3-1 at Arsenal.

Predictably there have already been a number of controversial incidents involving VAR for Brighton and their rivals – including Chelsea, Tottenham and Man United – leaving players, fans and managers frustrated.

Here, we have looked at the fledgling league table and how it might look without the involement of Stockley Park's video technology.

We have factored in VAR calls that led goals chalked off or awarded by VAR, including penalties.
