Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and Salford City co-owner Gary Neville have called for the football season to be suspended instead of staging games without fans as the spread of coronavirus sparks fear across Britain.
Premier League football matches are expected to take place as normal across England this weekend despite all domestic Italian football off until April 3 and games in Spain to be held behind closed doors for at least two weeks.
But tonight's Manchester City v Arsenal match has been postponed after Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis contracted coronavirus and visited the Emirates Stadium in London on February 27.
