    The Merseyside derby has been cleared to be held at Everton's Goodison Park stadium, while Liverpool can play home matches at Anfield when the Premier League season restarts.

    The match on 21 June could be the first chance for the Reds - who are 25 points clear at the top - to clinch the title.

    It was one of the games considered a risk because of fears fans could congregate outside the ground.

    It is to be hoped that level heads prevail over stupidity.

    "Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that."

    6 positives in 1192 tests is 0.5% or 1 in 199 tests are Covid19 positive. I suspect that the positives will have shown no symptons as well. At what level does it become a problem for the continuation of the restart of the EFL championship?

    One team needs ten players to test positive before there’s any effect on the fixtures.

    As Shanks implied, anywhere. Not a problem in Hull - minimal interest.

    Daniel Ayala REFUSES to play on in Middlesbrough's relegation battle after telling club he does not want a short-term contract extension - and he will leave when his deal expires on June 30 amid Leeds interest.

    Hull City’s trip to Wigan Atheltic next month has been moved forward following discussions between the two Championship rivals.

    City were due to travel to the DW Stadium for a 7.45pm kick-off on Tuesday 14 July but the fixture will now get underway at the earlier time of 6pm on the same day.

    Bringing the kick-off time forward aids City’s preparations for a fixture they will likely have to make return travel on the day due to the logistics involved following the coronavirus outbreak.

    The Tigers’ trip across the Pennines will be the penultimate away game of the season and could be a high stakes meeting in the fight for Championship survival.

    The Premier League has confirmed one person returned a positive result in its latest round of Covid-19 testing (1,541 tests).
