Liverpool are still likely to be crowned Premier League champions, even if the coronavirus crisis causes the season to be abandoned amid mounting fears it would be impossible to complete it this summer, according to Telegraph.
According to Telegraph Sport, there is no regulation governing what happens if the 2019-20 campaign is curtailed. But a senior club executive revealed on Friday night that there was little opposition to awarding Jurgen Klopp’s men their first English title for 30 years following what threatened to be the longest suspension of the professional game since the Second World War.
Leaders Liverpool are 25 points clear of second-placed Manchester City and two more victories for the Anfield club will give them the title. Such is the gap that there is no appetite among their rivals to deny them the crown.
Options for next season include a 22-team Premier League, possibly played to dovetail with the winter World Cup.

I knew when I saw Liverpool winning a EPL title it had to be the end of the world.

Liverpool is going to lift his first pl trophy on 4th of April 2020. But everyone should wear their mask, 0 contact on the playground with players, reffree should be var from far to skip propagation of Corona virus to our prized assets..

I am a Barca fan but Liverpool deserves the pl so no problem cancel the league and give the trophy but other leagues are doubtful cuz the Gap is small and may change within a match

To be honest I don’t think the season will resume... This virus will not go away in just two weeks, it’s gonna get even worse... The football is finished for this year, all competitions should be cancelled in Europe and this way will be fair and no one will be angry because some had chance to play, some didn’t have chance... Let’s forget about the football and focus on this serious problem and make it go away before the end of this year.

It's totally fair to end the season now with the current standings. 'what ifs' ain't gonna cut it. lets me realistic - man city didn't have a chance of catching Liverpool anyway. you should have played better in the first half of the season.

It's fair to give them the tittle, but Liverpool fans do not want to get the championship crown this way, they wont celebrate the way they are suppose to celebrate getting it at the end of the season. anyways i will be happy if they get it they have more points away from second place they deserve it.

I think this is fair to all. Liverpool are declared Champions, then Man United replace Man City in the Champions League slot...since they are facing ban
