Aston Villa sporting director Jesus Garcia Pitarch has said Premier League clubs are in favour of scrapping relegation in 2019-20 after the season was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Pitarch told Cope's Game Time (h/t Ollie Lewis for MailOnline) that if the decision is made to cancel the season then no teams should drop down to the Championship.
"At Aston Villa we are beginning to think about this. If the peak of the Coronavirus is to occur in May, no one thinks of a competition in which players, coaches, and health personnel of the club will continue to appear every day.
