So far there are over 798 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 11 confirmed deaths in the United Kingdom.
Arsenal Coach Mikel Arteta and Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi have both tested positive, though each are start to get better.
Will Liverpool Be Crowned Champions?
Premier League leaders Liverpool are currently 25 points clear of their rivals Manchester City and two more wins for Jurgen Klopp’s team will give them the league title.

Will Clubs Be Relegated?
At the bottom end of the league, along with promotion from the Championship, the situation become much more difficult and new plans are set to be announced in due time.
MySportDab understands that one proposal which is now on the table is that the top two clubs in the Championship, currently Leeds and West Brom to be promoted and for 22 clubs to compete in next season’s Premier League.
EFL Cup Axed?
The EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) would be postponed for one year to allow enough space in the fixture list and five clubs would then be relegated at the end of the 2020-21 season.
Agreements would have to be made across various leagues, along with the governing bodies, in order for proposals to be approved.
Champions League Continued?
The next matter on everyone’s mind now is the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
The competition falls under the jurisdiction of UEFA, though news steps would be announced in order to determine the qualification process for the competition.
