Just a little something showing how the major sporting events might have played out in this world without a certain pandemic. My colleagues will be bringing US sports in the coming weeks, but here is how the English Premier Leagues looks going into it's final day.
Note: All the clubs players are as per the real world, the same goes for the Managers part from Leicester City whom we have established are managed by former England international Matt Smith.
Sunday May 17th 2020
Premier League set for "Survival Sunday"
For only the second time since the formation of the Premier League in 1992, going into the today the final day of the season no side has yet been relegated. Just four points separate Brighton in 20th place on 30pts from Aston Villa in 16th on 34pts., with AFC Bournemouth in 19th on 31pts, Norwich in 18th on 32pts, and West Ham in 17th also on 32pts, with a superior goal difference (-27 to -19). The situation remians complicated by the fact that West Ham face Aston Villa at the London Stadium.
