John Barnes has said Liverpool shouldn't be given the Premier League title after the season was halted because of the coronavirus outbreak.

The former Anfield legend told Sky Sports News he would rather see next season cancelled so the remaining fixtures of the current campaign have additional time to be fulfilled.

"You have leagues to be finished and I think leagues have to be finished, not just from Liverpool's point of view or any other club in any country.

"It's obviously bigger than that, you are talking about promotion and relegation all the way down the divisions.
