1/2

On April 13 2014, Liverpool entertained Manchester City at home in what would be a huge test for the Reds if they were to pick up their first league title in 24 years. A lighting start with goals from Sterling and Skrtel saw Liverpool 2-0 up within 26 minutes, but a City fightback to 2-2 created a nervous atmosphere around Anfield.

A cagey period ensued, before Coutinho found the net in the 78th minute to win the game and send the crowd into raptures. Liverpool held on to win the game 3-2, and at the final whistle Steven Gerrard huddled around the nine other men in red shirts left on the pitch. The captain had a blunt, but important message for his men: "this does not slip".

A week later Rodgers' Reds travelled to Nowrich and saw off a resilient Norfolk side 2-3, with goals from Suarez and Sterling. All eyes to Anfield, for next week's title defining game - Chelsea at home.

Liverpool showed no fear as they attacked from the off, but Jose Mourinho's men dug in with an effective defensive display.

The Reds frustrated, the game ticked on to added time in the first half with captain Gerrard on the ball. In the middle of the pitch, Gerrard looked up to find a red shirt to pass to, but then disaster struck.

Gerrard lost his footing and gave the ball to Demba Ba. The former Newcastle man made no mistake, slotting home in front of the kop to give Chelsea the lead going into half time. It would prove to be a costly slip, as Liverpool pressed hard for an equaliser but ran out 0-2 losers. With Manchester City resurgent and with games in hand, the title was now out of the Reds' own destiny.

A trip to Selhust park was next on the agenda for the Reds, and Liverpool raced into a 0-3 lead against Crystal Palace - goal difference was a crucial factor now, but Liverpool were a side with firepower. Defending, as Rodgers said, was easy.

2/2

Pressing for a fourth, a neat Palace counter reduced the deficit, before a second placed the game within the Eagles' reach with minutes remaining. The title dream was in the balance for Liverpool, though the Redmen pressed on, undeterred by their clear defensive frailties.

With two minutes remaining, an end-to-end match ended in disaster for Liverpool. Dwight Gayle slotted home his second of the match to level the match at 3-3. At the final whistle, Liverpool returned to the summit of the Premier League table, but the damage was done – wins for City in their final two games would see the blue side of Manchester crowned champions. Liverpool needed a miracle.

Sure enough, a clinical City dispatched Everton to set up a final day title showdown – the first time in the Premier League era Liverpool entered the final day as potential champions. A win against Newcastle was not enough though, as Manchester City easily saw off West Ham at home to take their second Premier League crown.

Rodgers' men had dared to dream but ultimately had slipped up. Liverpool's unexpected title challenge had been brilliant though, and surely, under Rodgers, that first Premier League crown is just around the corner. Watch this space.
