CRYSTAL PALACE CHAIRMAN JOKES HOW PREMIER LEAGUE TABLE SHOULD BE DECIDED

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has posted a tongue-in-cheek comment about how the Premier League season should be decided.

Quoting a tweet which said the season should be decided based on the form guide of the last three matches, which would mean the Eagles would top the table, Parish said: 'Finally a sensible solution!'

The Premier League confirmed all games will be suspended, 'with the intention of returning on April 4' in light of the rapid spread of the virus.

The EFL, FA Women's Super League and FA Women's Championship have been postponed until April 3 at the earliest.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi are two top-flight names who have tested positive for coronavirus.

Bournemouth goalkeeper Artur Boruc and four members of Cherries staff are all isolating after displaying symptoms of the condition.

Manchester City, Leicester, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Watford and West Ham have also revealed they have either all or some of their players and staff in self-isolation.

English football's authorities held an emergency meeting on Friday morning in which it was decided no games will be played until the start of next month.
