The Head of Football Policing in England Mark Roberts on Friday said that Liverpool, chasing a first Premier League title in 30 years, could clinch it at a neutral venue, as the game, which could secure their most awaited title, could be held outside Anfield at a neutral stadium.

Roberts said that the about six matches for the Reds could be moved outside Anfield upon the request of local police forces, according to BBC.

Theses matches will included Liverpool's games against Everton and Manchester City.

Roberts added that discussions with the Premier League had been "positive" with a "shared focus on the priority of public health".

Liverpool now are at the top of the Premier League table with 25 points clear, while Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich City are in the relegation places.

The Reds, chasing a first league title in 30 years, could clinch it with victory in their first game back should second-placed Manchester City lose to Arsenal.

The Premier League is set to restart on June 17 after a suspension that took almost three months since March due to coronavirus outbreak.

The most-awaited league in the whole globe is scheduled to return with a hard-fought derby between Arsenal and Manchester City, while the other game will be between Aston Villa and Sheffield United.

A full round of fixtures would then be played on the weekend of 19-21 June.

The officials of the Premier League said that all matches are set to be played behind the closed doors and will be aired live via Bein Sports,  Sky Sports, BT Sport, BBC Sport or Amazon Prime.
