Coronavirus outbreak: Would Liverpool be denied the Premier League if title race is cancelled?

The coronavirus outbreak has steadily been worsening globally, but will it affect Liverpool's Premier League title hopes?

The effect of the deadly coronavirus has been devastating, with the global mortality rate reaching 3.4 per cent in early March.

It has already spread throughout China and into the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and parts of Europe.

With major sporting events and competitions already being cancelled and postponed in efforts to prevent further spread of the virus, questions have been raised about the possibility of the cancellation of this season's Premier League and how it could potentially affect title hopefuls Liverpool.
