Liverpool’s title decider could be switched to a neutral venue when the Premier League resumes next month.

As revealed by Sportsmail, police have informed the top flight that they have no issues with the majority of matches being played at their original venues.

However, they have raised concerns over the hosting of a small number of high-profile fixtures, amid concerns of supporters gathering outside, and expressed a desire to see them played at neutral sites.

And it is understood Liverpool’s potential title decider, along with local derbies, is among a number of games over which potential issues have been highlighted.

Jurgen Klopp’s champions-in-waiting, who have nine games to play, are 27 points clear of Manchester City.

City have 10 games to play – starting with their home clash with Arsenal to kick-off the return of top-flight football on June 17, ahead of the weekend’s first full list of fixtures.

That means that, should City lose against the Gunners, the Anfield side could wrap up the title at neighbours Everton. Should that scenario transpire, the Goodison Park fixture is likely to be shifted.

The same approach is expected to be taken to each match for as long as Liverpool’s 30-year wait to lift the title continues and could see their following home fixture with Crystal Palace and trip to the Etihad Stadium to face City moved.

If Liverpool – as expected – wrap the title up, their next home fixture may also be considered for a switch, although no decisions have yet been made.

Local derbies are also featured within the games over which concerns have been raised.

A vote is likely to be held on the subject by the clubs next week. Sources say that Liverpool will act with fan-safety as a priority.

As previously reported by Sportsmail, police feel that as long as their costs are covered and clubs provide stewarding to ensure they can deal with potential issues, most matches can be played at their existing stadiums.

The final decision is down to the Government, in conjunction with the Premier League. However, they are likely to strongly lean on the advice of the police and local safety advisory groups, made up of clubs, emergency services and local authorities.

The move opens the door for the hybrid model – a mix of home and away and neutral venues – revealed by Sportsmail earlier this week.
