Given the current uncertainty over the resumption of the Premier League, Sports Mole takes a look at how the 1999-00 season would have ended after gameweek 29.

With the coronavirus pandemic having brought a halt to the Premier League campaign, Liverpool have been left waiting to find out whether they will be given the opportunity to end their 30-year wait for a league title.

However, many of the 20 clubs in England's top flight face an anxious wait over their own positions, whether that be to do with European qualification or potential relegation to the Championship.

Of course, the current global crisis has caught everyone off guard, resulting in frequent meetings being held between the powers-that-be at their respective organisations. However, it raises the question of what would have happened in years gone by had the Premier League been ended after gameweek 29.

Despite having only claimed the last top-flight crown by a single point, Manchester United stormed to success in 1999-00, ending the campaign with an 18-point advantage over Arsenal.

While the gap was not as commanding after gameweek 29, United still held a 10-point lead over second-placed Leeds United, with the Gunners down in fourth position.

Although Leeds managed to remain in the top three, it was Liverpool who missed out on Champions League football courtesy of recording just eight points from their final seven fixtures.

Chelsea and Aston Villa retained fifth and sixth spot respectively - positions which earned them a place in the UEFA Cup and Intertoto Cup.

Although there were minimal changes in the top six, the same cannot be said about the relegation battle as Bradford City pulled off one of the all-time top-flight escape acts.

With seven games left, the Bantams sat five points adrift of safety, but 10 points over the closing period ensured that the Yorkshire side finished ahead of Wimbledon, who recorded just one point over the same period.

Unsurprisingly, Sheffield Wednesday and Watford would have still been relegated after gameweek 29 after being left cut adrift from their nearest rivals.

Leicester City were the biggest movers in mid-table, improving from 13th position to eighth after a 14-point haul from eight matches.
