I was facing the exact same issue. I am having Python version: 3.7.4 and scikit-learn version: 0.22. I resolved this by downgrading scikit-learn to older version using following command: 

pip install --upgrade scikit-learn==0.21.3

Just in my project's virtual environment, I downgraded sklearn library. This might help. If anybody have more optimal solution, Kindly share.
