Liverpool should be crowned champions of the Premier League if the season cannot go ahead. That is the verdict from Gerard Houllier, who also believes the Ligue 1 season was hasty in their action to end the current campaign.
The Reds were in the midst of probably their best season ever domestically after losing just once all year in the Premier League.
It has seen them go 25 points clear at the top of the table, ahead of current champions Manchester City. However, the coronavirus crisis has hit at the worst time, meaning that they cannot go on to secure the three wins necessary to end their 30 year wait for a title.
