When can Liverpool win Premier League title as games suspended due to coronavirus?

Liverpool are current Premier League leaders with 82 points and could have won the league title at Goodison Park against Everton on Monday if the English top flight had not been suspended. The Reds now will have to wait longer to win their first top flight title in 30 years after the Premier League announced all games have been suspended until at least April 3. The English league had hoped to continue as normal with the potential of games being played behind closed doors. However, they have now decided to follow in the footsteps of La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A by suspending the top flight until after the international break, meaning the next two match weekends won't take place with doubts on whether the league will get back underway next month. Liverpool's first scheduled game back which so far hasn't been affected by the current suspension is the game at the Etihad against Manchester City on April 5. Jurgen Klopp's side need just six points to win the Premier League, but a win against the Citizens would seal the title. There has been some suggestions the Premier League could be extended by a few weeks to allow for the postponed games to be played. However, that would likely take Premier League fixtures into June, just weeks before the start of the 2020 European Championships. UEFA though have called for an emergency meeting for Tuesday following week to discuss the possibility of postponing Euro 2020 by one year, which is to take place from June 12- July 12 at venues across Europe.
