The Premier League season is still on course to be completed despite suggestions that some top flight chairman want it voided.

The majority of clubs are understood to be in favour of pressing ahead and the issue will be discussed further at a shareholder’s meeting next week.

The issue is one of several on the agenda at the usual gathering, set to take place next Friday.

The expectation is to get the season renewed as and when it is safe to do so.

Games played behind closed doors will also be discussed although concerns around the need for medical staff for each fixture will also be addressed with NHS staff continuing to face challenging conditions.

All clubs are believed to have left last week’s meeting agreed that the 2019/20 should be played to a finish once football is able to.

Although worries ahead of next season have since seeped in among several chief executives, that will remain the case.

It is more likely, next week, that the current postponement of all games until April 30 will be extended again.

That would move it past the official end of the Football League season and towards the last round of Premier League fixtures, which was supposed to be on May 17.

But the competition organisers are mindful of their broadcast obligations and the legal minefield they would leave themselves in should they scrap the current campaign.

Leicester, on course for the Champions League, would find themselves out of the top four while Spurs would have another crack at the elite European competition. Sheffield United, one win away from replacing Manchester United in what would be the final Champions League spot if Manchester City are banned, would be back at square one.

It is the reason why the broad consensus is set to be maintained at next week’s sit down.
