Bet you a million pounds the Derby is the only fixture that goes ahead with a full house this weekend.

And even by normal Derby standards, we're getting fkd worse than an 8 year old on a sleepover at Neverland...

The whole EPL cancellation thing will be decided by VAR. Even now, as we speak, experts are studying footage of people across the nation sneezing and coughing.

I still think our game will be cancelled because it’s on a Monday.

I mean, this is just the most self serving asinine thing I have ever seen. They should be completely and utterly sued out of existence. How, on earth, can they possibly think that tens of thousands in a venue isn't an issue?

Boris you absolute plank...

I see fans are not considered 'stakeholders'.

Leicester have three players in isolation, and I have an inkling that another club will declare that some of their players are in quarantine within the next two days.

Following the latest update from Government issued this afternoon, all Premier League matches will go ahead as scheduled this weekend.

While the Prime Minister advised that all sporting events should take place as normal for now, he also indicated that Government is considering banning major public events, like sporting fixtures.

We are therefore continuing to work closely with our clubs, Government, The FA, EFL and other relevant stakeholders to ensure appropriate contingency plans are in place as and when circumstances change.

The welfare of players, staff and supporters is of paramount importance and we will continue to follow Public Health England guidelines thoroughly.
We will keep everyone updated as appropriate.
