Manchester United have come under intense scrutiny for much of this season after some inconsistent form early in the season but are now unbeaten in nine and still fighting for two trophies.

Palace fans have completed a 116-mile charity cycle to Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium for their Premier League clash only for the match to be called off halfway through.

The government on Monday asked those over the age of 70 to minimise social contact. Hodgson, 72, is the Premier League's oldest boss and is affected by the new guidelines.

The fate of this season looks set to be decided on Thursday when chiefs meet to discuss whether the season is to be completed at a later date, or declared void, with no

Wilfried Zaha says it is nice to see former Crystal Palace team-mate Aaron Wan-Bissaka getting recognised on the world stage since his move to Manchester United. 

England's top flight was suspended on March 13 due to the coronavirus pandemic and has been put on hold indefinitely until the virus has been suitably contained and it is safe for players to return.

SPORTS AGENDA: Twenty five years have passed and thousands of words have been written since Eric Cantona's kung-fu kick on a Crystal Palace fan, which earned him a nine-month ban.

The 21-year-old right-back joined the club from Porto in 2018 for around £18m.but he has had few opportunities this season due to sensational form of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Hodgson has reportedly told friends that he does not believe he will be allowed to guide his team from the touchline or even take training sessions, according to The Sun.

For Simon Jordan, who owned Crystal Palace between 2000 and 2010, he believes the 'best case scenario' is to lose this season and then return when the health of all involved is in no doubt.

Crystal Palace are confident that Roy Hodgson will not be barred from managing on safety grounds amid the coronavirus crisis when the Premier League resumes.

EXCLUSIVE BY SAMI MOKBEL: There had been doubt over whether the 72-year-old would be forced to miss the remainder of the season, should it restart, due to Government guidelines.

US regulators have approved a new type of coronavirus test that administration officials have promoted as a key to opening up the country. The Food and Drug Administration on Saturday announced emergency authorization for antigen tests developed by Quidel Corporation of San Diego. The test can rapidly detect fragments of virus proteins in samples collected from swabs swiped inside the nasal cavity, the FDA said in a statement. The antigen test is the third type of test to be authorized by the FDA. Currently, the only way to diagnose active COVID-19 is to test a patient's nasal swab for the genetic material of the virus. While considered highly accurate, the tests can take hours and require expensive, specialized equipment mainly found at commercial labs, hospitals or universities. A second type looks in the blood for antibodies, the proteins produced by the body days or weeks after fighting an infection. Such tests are helpful for researchers to understand how far a disease has spread
