Former England striker Alan Shearer has said he believes Liverpool should not be handed the title if the coronavirus outbreak prevents them from completing the season.

The Premier League has been suspended until April 3 with the Reds 25 points clear at the top of the table.

And while Shearer admits it would be incredibly tough for Liverpool to take because they have waited 30 years for a league title, he is confident it is the only fair way to go about it given the circumstances.

“As harsh and as horrible as that would be for some clubs, none more so than Liverpool, it is the only outcome," he said.

“If you cannot complete the fixtures then you cannot go handing out titles or consider relegating anybody.

“People have spoken of bringing Leeds and West Brom up from the Championship — but there would be uproar from other clubs.

“Sitting seven and six points above third with nine games to go, there is no guarantee they would finish in the top two. For Liverpool, it would be incredibly harsh.”
