'It will be unfair on Liverpool - they deserve the title': Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov says Jurgen Klopp's side are worthy of Premier League glory - and warns voiding the season 'won't be popular'

Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov said their traditional foes Liverpool deserve to be crowned Premier League champions and it would be unfair on the Anfield side if the season cannot be completed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The campaign has been suspended with the league saying it was keeping the restart date under 'constant review'.

Liverpool, who have a 25-point advantage over reigning champions Manchester City and nine games left, need six more points to guarantee lifting their first title in 30 years.
