Plans are in place to deal with the Coronavirus to prevent it from wreaking havoc with the Premier League season, according to the Express.
Liverpool sit 22 points clear at the top of the table, needing just four more wins to secure the title.
With the Coronavirus hitting the UK, however, there have been fears that matches could be suspended, with some reports even claiming that the season could end up being voided.
This latest update will come as a relief to Reds supporters, though, with the story stating that matches will be played behind closed doors, as a worst case scenario.
So, if games are postponed for over a month, Jordan Henderson could find himself lifting the Premier League trophy in front of an empty Anfield!
There is still a long way to go before this issue arises, of course.
Read Liverpool Verdict
Firstly a potential World War III, then an asteroid heading towards earth and now the coronavirus – it seems as though the entire world is trying to stop Liverpool winning a first league title since 1990!
In all seriousness, though, the correct measures must be taken if the virus keeps spreading, with the health and well-being of individuals far more important than anything else.
It would be a shame if Liverpool ended up winning the league behind closed doors, but we will deal with that scenario if and when it arrives.
The Reds need to actually get over the finish line first!
