Ever since its introduction to English football, VAR’s implementation and usage has caused great debate, debates that VAR ought to have solved with its introduction.

BettingExpert.com have conducted research into which teams have had the most VAR calls against them this campaign and here, using this research, we have ranked each Premier League team from the ‘luckiest’ with VAR calls, to the ‘unluckiest’:
