Play was halted in March with the Reds needing two wins from nine games to win a first top-flight title in 30 years. "I became worried when people started talking about 'null and void' this season," said the Liverpool manager. The Reds, who are 22 points clear with nine games remaining, will also secure a 19th top-flight title if they beat Everton and City lose against Burnley. "I am pleased it is at Goodison but not pleased we will play without supporters," Ancelotti said. "No one is pleased to play without supporters, and I hope soon it will be safe to have people in the stands during games.
