LONDON (Reuters) - As Liverpool prepare to host Chelsea on Saturday they need no reminding that a 2-0 defeat in the fixture last season inflicted a massive blow to their bid to win the English league title for the first time since 1990.

Steven Gerrard's slip gifted Chelsea the lead and a late goal wrapped up victory for Jose Mourinho's team who will arrive at Anfield with a four-point lead at the top over Southampton and a 12-point advantage to seventh-placed Liverpool.
