There is no risk of the Premier League scrapping relegation

There is no risk of the Premier League scrapping relegation and promotion as the FA will block any attempt to declare the season null and void under wide-ranging powers given to it in the 1991 Founder Members’ Agreement.

Monday could be crunch time for English Premier League clubs, when they meet to discuss 'Project Restart' - how the league will conclude its 2019-20 season.

There are 92 games still to be played and it is expected they will held at neutral venues in order to reduce the chances of fans gathering nearby.

Watford, Brighton and Aston Villa have said they are opposed to the idea of using neutral venues.

Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, Steve Parrish, the Crystal Palace chairman, said: "There are no easy answers, we have to work through it as a collective and I think we will and come out with a consensus in the end."

It was expected there would be a formal vote on Project Restart on Monday, but the vote has been delayed.
