The Premier League has been halted as the coronavirus pandemic grips the sporting world.
The top-flight has nine rounds of matches to play this season with plenty yet to be decided.
While Liverpool are running away with the title, the relegation battle and race for the European places is still wide open.
The ongoing issues surrounding coronavirus has meant the Premier League has been put on hold and there are many questions up in the air.
How long is the Premier League suspended for?
Manchester City vs Arsenal was the first Premier League fixture to be postponed on Wednesday, March 11.
The following weekend’s top-flight matches were subsequently called off and that will remain the case until early April.
The rest of the EFL matches, upcoming FA Cup quarter-finals, Champions League and Europa League games and international fixtures have also been pushed back.
When is the Premier League likely to resume?
As it stands, games are set to resume on Saturday, April 4 with Aston Villa vs Wolves in that day’s 12:30pm kick-off.
The situation is clearly evolving day-by-day and it remains to be seen if the league will be able to get back underway on that date.
Euro 2020 has already been rescheduled for next summer to give domestic leagues the chance to get their seasons finished should they run into the summer.
Premier League clubs will attempt to thrash out a plan to complete a season when they meet via a conference call on Thursday [March 19].
It is understood the focus will be firmly on concluding the 2019/20 campaign at some point rather than on what might happen should they be unable to restart.
Are Premier League clubs still training?
Several Premier League squads have been self-isolating after players either had the virus or showed symptoms.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta test positive of COVID-19 last week but the Gunners remain on course to return to training next Tuesday.
Other clubs are unexpected to do the same unless told differently by the league or by the government.
Several top-flight stars have taken to social media to show how they are staying fit during this state of flux.
Will the Premier League season be voided?
The Premier League’s 20 teams are desperate to complete the current season and avoid it being written off.
A radical plan could be introduced if the campaign is completely curtailed due to coronavirus.
It has been claimed that the league is considering crowning Liverpool as champions with Leeds and West Brom promoted from the Championship.
It would mean the 2019/20 campaign would be shut down for good and we would resume with a 22-team season next term.
The Premier League conference call on Thursday should shed more light on any potential plans.
