Give Liverpool the title and NO relegation: Sporting director of 19th-place Aston Villa claims Premier League clubs believe no teams should go down if season has to be cancelled

Aston Villa chief Jesus Garcia Pitarch has claimed that the general consensus of Premier League clubs is that Liverpool are crowned champions and no club shall be relegated, in a bold statement ahead of a top flight summit.

Top flight clubs are preparing to meet on Thursday to thrash out talks over how to sort out the remainder of the season, with the coronavirus outbreak leading to domestic action being suspended in unprecedented scenes.

Question marks remain over whether Liverpool should be crowned champions despite it not being mathematically certain, while greater doubts remain over which three clubs would be relegated should the season be deemed incomplete.
