Alan Shearer insists Liverpool cannot win the Premier League title if the season is abandoned now due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Liverpool have a whopping 25-point lead at the top of the Premier
League and need just two more wins from their remaining nine games to
confirm the club’s first top-flight crown in 30 years.

However,
they are currently in limbo with all football postponed until at least
April 3 as the UK tries to combat the deadly virus.

There is
huge uncertainty over whether or not the Premier League will actually
be able to resume after that date, with many fearing the campaign will
have to be scrapped altogether.

And Newcastle United legend Shearer is adamant Liverpool could not be handed the title now if the season had to be written off.

“If, and it is a huge if, the season cannot be completed then there is no way you can have a winner or loser,” said Shearer, writing in his column for The Sun.

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

“For Liverpool, it would be incredibly harsh.

“They only need six points to wrap it up but they haven’t got them yet so for that reason it has to be declared null and void.

“It would be very different if the season was suspended after they had got the points to win it.”

Shearer
said abandoning the season had to be an absolute last resort, and that
it should be resumed if possible even if it meant a long delay.

He
said it would be “a strange time” for Liverpool’s players as they wait
to discover whether they can continue their incredible campaign, with a
title triumph tantalisingly close.

“It is up to them to remain professional and disciplined until we know what is happening next,” he added.
