Liverpool are among the WORST affected by VAR this season

Liverpool fans can be forgiven for thinking fortune is against them this term given the long term injuries to centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. VAR failed to acknowledge that Jordan Pickford should have sent off for his lunge on Virgil van Dijk in Liverpool's 2-2 draw at Everton earlier in the season In the same game at Goodison Park Jordan Henderson saw a late winner ruled out for offside To rub salt into the wound, the challenge means that Van Dijk is very unlikely to play again for the rest of the season having suffered a serious knee injury. Joe Gomez was penalised for a handball during Liverpool's last encounter at Manchester City Referee Craig Pawson consults VAR before awarding Manchester City a penalty Diogo Jota had a strike ruled out against West Ham following a Sadio Mane foul eight minutes from time, but was able to score the winner in a 2-1 victory a few minutes later at Anfield. Another call to have gone against Liverpool was Joe Gomez's handball in their most recent game at Manchester City but Kevin de Bruyne was unable to convert from the penalty spot in the 1-1 draw. Sadio Mane's foul on West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski saw Liverpool have a goal ruled out VAR screens at Anfield confirm Mane's foul on Fabianski to deny Liverpool a late lead LIVERPOOL VAR STATS Overturns 6 Decisions against 5 Net decisions -4 Penalties conceded 2 Goals disallowed 3 Goals conceded 1 The only call to have gone in their favour this term was the red card handed to Andreas Christensen of Chelsea when the Reds won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge back in September.
