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 provided with 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 naturally raises the question of what would have happened in years gone by had the Premier League been ended after gameweek 29.

In the second campaign of his second stint at Chelsea, Jose Mourinho was under pressure to deliver, and the Portuguese did just that as the Blues ended the season with an eight-point advantage over Manchester City.

Despite City's strong finish, that represented a two-point increase from gameweek 29, a difference which had been established due to Manuel Pellegrini's team suffering away defeats at Liverpool and Burnley respectively.

While Arsenal only held a one-point lead over Manchester United in the race for third, the Gunners had opened up a five-point margin by the end of the season.

Although the top four did not change, Tottenham Hotspur were the big movers directly below that quartet, with 14 points from nine games being enough to earn the North Londoners fifth spot ahead of Liverpool and Southampton.

With regards to the bottom of the table, Leicester City's revival changed Premier League history forever. After gameweek 29, the Foxes were seven points adrift from safety with just 10 matches left, a scenario which made then heavy favourites to drop down to the Championship.

However, led by Nigel Pearson, the East Midlands side recorded 22 points over the closing two months, resulting in Leicester ending the campaign in 14th spot, six points above the bottom three.

While Burnley and Queens Park Rangers remained in the relegation zone, Leicester's upturn in form resulted in Hull City becoming the third team to move to the second tier, missing out by three points to Aston Villa.

Despite surviving relatively comfortably, Newcastle United endured a dismal end to the season, picking up just four points from nine fixtures to drop from 11th to 15th.
