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.
Premier League standings won't guarantee Premier League winners just yet
In the current Premier League standings, Liverpool are at the summit of the table. Jurgen Klopp's Reds are 25 points clear of Manchester City in 2nd place. 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. Here are the current Premier League standings before coronavirus suspended the English top-flight:
