The Premier League is expected to reiterate its commitment to completing the season in Thursday's emergency board meeting held via conference call.
All games have been postponed until at least 4 April because of coronavirus.
The idea that The Premier League will make a decision based in fairness, or sporting integrity is fanciful nonsense.
Sky and BT Sport will decide.

Former Cardiff City midfielder Peter Whittingham has died aged 35.
The ex-Aston Villa player had been in hospital for more than a week after suffering a head injury in a fall in a pub in Barry.
Whittingham's former club Cardiff confirmed the news.
"It is with an immeasurable amount of sorrow that we must inform supporters that Peter Whittingham has passed away at the age of 35. We are heartbroken," they wrote in a statement.
"The news of Peter's sudden and untimely passing has shaken us to our very foundation. Our love goes out to his wife Amanda, their young son and family.
"They are at the forefront of our thoughts and, on their behalf, we ask for their privacy to be respected at this unfathomably cruel and difficult time."
He joined Cardiff for £350,000 in 2007 and established himself as a club legend with 459 appearances and 98 goals before leaving in 2017.
Whittingham then moved to Blackburn Rovers, before leaving a year later.
"First and foremost, Peter was a family man - and somebody who could light up a room with his sense of humour, warmth and personality," Cardiff's statement added.
"Then, as a professional footballer - as a Bluebird - he excelled with talent, ease, grace and humility. Nobody did it better.
"The loss of Peter will be painfully felt by our city, supporters and indeed all who ever had the pleasure of knowing him. We love you Pete and your memory will eternally stay with us."
It is with Cardiff City that the stylish left-footed playmaker is most closely associated.
During Whittingham's 10 years with the club, they reached the 2008 FA Cup final, 2012 League Cup final and won promotion to the Premier League in 2013.
Whittingham was a huge fans' favourite at Cardiff, scoring numerous spectacular long-range goals which helped earn him a place in the EFL's team of the decade for 2005-2015.

The 2004 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2004 or simply Euro 2004, was the 12th edition of the UEFA European Championship, a quadrennial football competition contested by the men's national teams of UEFA member associations. The final tournament was hosted for the first time in Portugal, from 12 June to 4 July 2004, after their bid was selected on 12 October 1999, over those of Spain and Austria/Hungary. A total of thirty-one matches were played in ten venues across eight cities – Aveiro, Braga, Coimbra, Guimarães, Faro/Loulé, Leiria, Lisbon, and Porto.
The tournament was rich in surprises and upsets: Germany, Spain, and Italy were eliminated in the group stage, while France, the defending champions, were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Greece. The Portuguese team recovered from an opening defeat against Greece to reach the final, eliminating England and the Netherlands along the way. For the first time in a major football tournament, the last match featured the same teams as the opening match.
Portugal were defeated by Greece with a goal from Angelos Charisteas. Greece's triumph was unexpected, considering that they had only qualified for two other major tournaments, the UEFA Euro 1980 and the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where they failed to win a single match. As winners, Greece earned the right to represent Europe at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup.
The National League may need up to £20m of government money to help survive the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, according to Dagenham managing director Steve Thompson.
Many non-league football clubs are struggling to cope with the financial impact of the enforced break.
“There needs to be a concentrated effort,” said Thompson.
“I don't think we can expect a bailout from the Premier League or FA, so it needs to be government led.”
Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic are looking for "a fair and reasonable solution" to the league campaign, says chief executive Peter Lawwell.
With football suspended because of coronavirus, Celtic are 13 points clear of Rangers having played a game more.
Manager Neil Lennon has insisted that Celtic should be declared champions if the campaign is not completed.
John Mansell (22 August 1927 – 19 March 2016) was a professional footballer who made 274 appearances in the Football League as a fullback for Brighton & Hove Albion, Cardiff City and Portsmouth. After retiring as a player he joined the coaching staff at Sheffield Wednesday. He coached many clubs with his longest spell being at Reading and had experience overseas with the likes of Blauw-Wit Amsterdam, Boston Beacons and the Israel national football team. In 1982, Mansell was chosen to train Maccabi Haifa, after a year at the Israeli national team. Mansell died on 19 March 2016.
Mr Johnson said "we can turn the tide within the next 12 weeks", adding: "I'm absolutely confident we can send the virus packing in this country."

I'm not sure what Bales would've done when Farn were drawn as the home team, but chairman switched to the away team to bring in more money for the club.
But did he steal the chance of a cupset in pursuit of financial gain?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No.
Well maybe. Such upsets are exceedingly rare. I think he did the right thing by his club.
