Premier League clubs are heading home with officials confident only FOUR matches will be staged at neutral venues – with Liverpool set to lift the title at Anfield

The Premier League have told their clubs they are hoping that no more than four matches will be held at neutral venues — and have acknowledged Liverpool may well win the title at Anfield.

Sportsmail understands that top-flight official Bill Bush was moved to write to each of the 20 clubs after a statement from National Police Chiefs' Council football lead officer Mark Roberts declared that six fixtures were set to be shifted.

Two of the six games Deputy Chief Constable Roberts listed on Friday were Everton v Liverpool and the leaders' title-clincher.
