Former Everton star Joseph Yobo has admitted he would prefer the current season to be cancelled so that Liverpool couldn't win the Premier League.

It was announced last month that top level football in England had been brought to a halt for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus pandemic.

While the country remains on lockdown, much debate among fans and pundits alike has taken place over what should happen to the rest of the 2019/20 term - with some believing the best course of action would be to declare the season null and void.

Yobo has admitted he would prefer that option as a former Blue, but as a fan of the sport he believes Liverpool deserve to win the title.

He told ESPN : "As an Everton Blue I would prefer that the league is cancelled so that Liverpool don't win it.

"That is me speaking as an Evertonian, I don't want them to win.

"But as a football fan, and as someone who loves the game, I think Liverpool have done well and do deserve to win it.

"To lead the league by 25 points is not easy. If you look at their form from last season, they only lost the league to City by a point or so. Now they lead by 23 or 25 points, I think that is a lot.

"As a someone who loves the game, it is unfair, if you are leading by over 20 points not to win, so I think they should win it. They have worked hard to get to this point."
