Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes can be put in jeopardy by the Coronavirus

Liverpool’s march towards a first league title in 30 years could be put in jeopardy by the coronavirus epidemic, according to a repor on Eurosport based on one published by the Telegraph.

The spread of the virus could see the government cancel all sporting events for two months, which could, the report states, result in an incomplete Premier League season.

There is also no guarantee the bottom three clubs would not be relegated, with no specific regulation in place governing such a scenario.

The rapid spread of the virus has raised the prospect of the Government ordering the cancellation of all sporting events in the UK for more than two months, something that could mean some fixtures never being played.

“Any final ruling could depend on how many fixtures had been played, similar to the results abandoned matches in some sporting competitions being allowed to stand if a certain percentage of them have been completed.”
