'Liverpool Could Win Premier League Title At Manchester City If Games Goes Ahead

Liverpool could sensationally win the Premier League title at Manchester City should the fixture go ahead amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The Premier League has been officially suspended until April 4 due to the pandemic illness.

The 2019/20 league campaign is set to resume next month with Liverpool's next scheduled match against the title holders City at the Etihad on April 5.

And should the match go ahead, Liverpool would clinch the title if they beat Pep Guardiola's side.

Victory for Jurgen Klopp's team would see them record an unassailable lead at the top of the league table.

So as long as a further postponement isn’t required then #LFC’s next game will be Manchester City away on Sunday April 5. If that goes ahead then Klopp’s side would clinch the title if they win at the Etihad.

Liverpool's postponed fixtures versus Everton (a) and Crystal Palace (h) will most likely be played in May or June.

The Reds potentially winning the league on Manchester soil sent social media into overdrive.

Liverpool next fixture will be against Manchester City.

If Liverpool win the game, they officially win the premier league #LFC

"Win at Etihad will make Liverpool premier league champions," one social media user wrote.

A second tweeted: "Lmao the whole of uk is gonna watch liverpool parade in the summer once euro 2020 is moved to 2021."

A third added: "Even behind closed doors that'd be nice."

The Premier League, meanwhile, held an emergency meeting on Friday morning where they agreed to suspend the league.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said: "Above all, we wish Mikel Arteta and Callum Hudson-Odoi speedy recoveries, and everyone else affected by COVID-19.

"In this unprecedented situation, we are working closely with our clubs, government, the FA and EFL and can reassure everyone the health and welfare of players, staff and supporters are our priority."
