Premie­r League season has been suspen­ded until April 30, but looks likely that the date can be pushed back furthe­rLONDON: Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan says it would only be “fair” for rivals Liverpool to be awarded the English Premier League trophy if the season cannot be completed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
