Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admits he would be “gutted” if the coronavirus crisis prevents fans from watching them win a league title for the first time in 30 years.
The Reds lead the Premier League by 25 points but football across the country is suspended until 3 April.
The prospect of playing matches without fans has been raised as one of a number of ways to complete the fixture list.
“No one wants to play games without the fans,” said Van Dijk, 28.
“If we won it in an empty stadium and the fans weren’t there, I’d be gutted for them,” the Dutch international told newspapers.
“Obviously, if there are no fans at Anfield, then it will be a bit of a blow.
“Until a decision is made on how we go on from here, then we just have to deal with it. But when it happens, we are still bringing the title to our fans, definitely.”
Brighton’s chief executive says it would be ‘unjust’ if Liverpool are not awarded the title
