Coronavirus: Premier League should be 'reset' says pundit
Liverpool have the backing of bitter rivals Manchester United when it comes to ensuring the current Premier League season is completed. The Reds are anxiously awaiting the eventual verdict of the authorities, who will make decision based off the government's advice.

In a club statement regarding refunds on season tickets, United said: “The club fully supports the collective intent to complete the Premier League, FA Cup and the UEFA club competitions."
The Reds are currently 25 points clear of Manchester City in second and many feel as though it would be a disservice to Jurgen Klopp's side if they were not crowned champions.
Manchester United have aspirations of their own and are starting to really apply the pressure onto Chelsea in fourth.
The arrival of Bruno Fernandes has been a turning point in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's season and United are desperate to secure Champions League football for next season.

Liverpool are under no illusions that now is not the time to kick up a fuss about their season.
Klopp echoed these views in an interview on Liverpool's website.
"We said it now often enough, and I think everybody knows, football is not the most important thing in the world. One hundred percent not," he said.
"In this moment it’s clear what is. But the only way to get football back as soon as possible, if that’s what the people want, the more disciplined we are now the earlier we will get, piece by piece by piece, our life back. That’s how it is.

"There is no other solution in the moment, nobody has another solution. We have to be disciplined by ourselves, we have to keep the distance to other people.
"We can still do some things, not a lot, but we have to just calm down a little bit with things. Yes, outside the economy has to carry on, that will start again.
"But the lower the number will be when we go out again, the number of people infected, that’s what I understand, the better it is.
"It will not be like nobody anymore after the next few weeks but the curve will flatten, that’s the most important thing."
