The Premier League says it will support a trophy presentation for Liverpool if they are crowned champions and it is safe to do so.
Jurgen Klopp's side, who are 25 points clear at the top of the table, only need two more wins to clinch their first top-flight title in 30 years should the domestic season get back underway after it was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Premier League's chief executive Richard Masters has confirmed he will support plans for a presentation should the social and public health situation allow it.
"If at all possible, yes, you'd like to have a trophy presentation," Masters said on Monday.
Monday.
"You want to give those players and the whole staff the moment they worked so hard for, if that's what happens. Yes, we would try and do it, unless it wasn't possible because of safety concerns."
On Monday, Premier League clubs unanimously voted in favour of resuming training in small groups from Tuesday in a significant stepping stone for season resumption in England.
Liverpool are set to return to training this week after having been given the all-clear by the Premier League
With all 20 clubs keen to resume the season when deemed safe to do so, a return to top-flight football in June could potentially be edging closer.
In a meeting held by conference call, Premier League clubs did not discuss the possibility of curtailing the season - like in Scotland - and continued talks over the issue of neutral venues.
Another topic discussed by clubs on Monday was the option to move to contact training on Tuesday next week, seven days after clubs were given the all-clear to host group training sessions again.
Masters also admitted it would be a "good idea to prioritise" the games in hand between Manchester City and Arsenal and Sheffield United's trip to Aston Villa, in order to get all clubs on the same number of matches.
"It is a relatively normal occurrence for, at this stage of the season, there to be displaced matches that have to be played," he said.
