Bournemouth Slide to 13th in Premier League Table 2025/26
Bournemouth would fall from seventh to 13th in the premier league table 2025/26 if every VAR error was removed from the season. SportsJOE used Squawka data for a projection that also shows Tottenham Hotspur on 39 points, with several clubs shifting places as four games remain.
Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur
Bournemouth’s slide is the biggest swing in the projection. Andoni Iraola’s side had six decisions in their favour and one against in the VAR count described by the table, yet the adjusted standings still push them down six places.
Tottenham would move the other way. Roberto De Zerbi’s team were said to have six mistakes go against them and four go for them, leaving them on 39 points without VAR errors, enough to move above West Ham United and level with Leeds United.
Forest, Brentford and Palace
Nottingham Forest would rise into 15th with six additional points, while Brentford would slide from ninth to 12th. Keith Andrew’s side had five calls against them and three major calls in their favour, a split that leaves them well short of their current spot in the adjusted table.
Crystal Palace would climb to 11th, helped by one call for them and five against. Vitor Pereira’s Forest movement and Oliver Glasner’s Palace rise sit on opposite sides of the same projection: one team gains ground, another gives it back when disputed calls are stripped out.
Sunderland, Everton and Wolves
Sunderland would move into the top half after starting the closing stretch in 12th and four points behind Brighton. Regis Le Bris’s side were part of a packed mid-table picture, with Everton projected eighth and Wolves still down in 18th.
David Moyes’s Everton would sit eighth without errors, having had four errors go against them, while Wolves would remain relegated on 17 points from 34 matches after three VAR errors are removed. Rob Edwards’s side stay last in the projection, which keeps the relegation picture unchanged even in a table built without disputed calls.
The wider picture is a season with four games left and little room between clubs chasing Europe and those trying to stay clear of trouble. Arsenal and Man City were level at the top, Manchester United, Liverpool and Aston Villa looked set for Champions League football, and sixth place was still up for grabs.
