Research conducted by ESPN in partnership with Intel and the University of Bath has discovered that Liverpool were the most unluckiest side in the Premier League last season.
A revised Premier League table has been published after correcting 57 incidents throughout the 2017-18 campaign which included incorrectly disallowed goals, dodgy penalties and wrongly issued red cards.
Liverpool gained an additional 12 points as a result of the research while Premier League champions Manchester City were stripped of 3 points. United had 6 points deducted.
City remained as Champions, of course, while Liverpool jumped from 4th to runners-up. United were bumped from 2nd to 4th.
Leicester City were the luckiest team in the division having gained 7 points from errors that went in their favour.
