One of the more likely options is that they will restart the season, make Liverpool champions but have no relegation. Then promote the top 2 teams from the Championship and have 22 teams in the Premier League next season. Teams will want to be rewarded for restarting, with titles and promotion, but none will want to be penalized with relegation.
I expect though that once coronavirus starts spreading among the staff and players, the restart will be abandoned before its completion.

Why would corona virus spread through the players they will be the best protected people in the entire country.

You either void the competition or finish it at some point as a competition. What is the point of playing matches if there are no promotions or relegations? Once you take the carrot and stick element out of it it just becomes pointless (almost literally).

If they have relegation, you can guarantee there will be legal challenges aplenty from the three relegated clubs about having to play behind closed doors and not having home games.
You can see Brighton and West Ham are already kicking off on this issue.
Far easier for the Prem to get this through by having no relegation.
Which would make the whole exercise utterly pointless.

Just call it void There will be a lot of anti football sentiment in the country if footballers are the best protected people and just one nhs worker dies

One German team is already isolating for 14 days, as some of their players have the virus and the league is just about to start! It only takes a few positive tests and teams will be isolating, making playing the games impossible.
I can’t believe anyone would have enthusiasm for games that have no threat of relegation, that the title is virtually decided and is played in empty stadiums.
It’d be like watching someone playing Fifa.
you can drink your weak lemon drink now.

If you had 22 clubs in the Premier League an option to avoid congestion would be for Premier clubs to take a sabbatical from the League Cup and FA Cup.
This would be good compensation to the Championship and L1 and L2 clubs giving them a real chance of winning a prestigious cup.

This would be good compensation to the Championship and L1 and L2 clubs giving them a real chance of winning a prestigious cup.
I think a genuine concern is going to be how many L1 and L2 clubs are still going to be in existence.
This is why the Skates may well miss out on promotion, as the clubs simply can’t afford to play out the season behind closed doors.
