However, European football's governing body insisted that domestic campaigns would be settled on 'sporting merit'. Champions League places will likely be decided on a points-per-game basis if remaining matches cannot be played.

Jurgen Klopp's side have won 27 of their 29 games this season, dropping points only twice. Source: Daily Mail
