The Premier League season has been suspended until April 30 following the coronavirus outbreak. Earlier this week, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin denied rumours that the current Premier League standings will determine the manner in which the season ends. However, with the Euro 2020 having been postponed to next year, this allows the Premier League fixtures to take place even if the matches are carried forward beyond June 1st.

However, the current Premier League standings will not crown Liverpool as Premier League winners just yet. So far, Liverpool have played 29 games and need only six more points to be crowned as Premier League winners.
