"A 2-0 Anfield defeat by Chelsea in April 2014, though, is widely considered to have been the day Liverpool's title hopes slipped through their fingers, despite beating Man City 3-2 at Anfield two weeks earlier. Gerrard's slip on halfway, which allowed Chelsea striker Demba Ba to race through and score, has since become the subject of a Man City terrace chant adopted by fans of many other clubs and is widely regarded an iconic, unfortunate Premier League moment for the ex-Reds skipper."
"Manchester City spent just three weeks at the top of the Premier League table but timed their push for the title to perfection, ending gameweeks 37 and 38 top of the pile, having previously moved into first place on the opening weekend, relinquishing that spot the following week. Liverpool, on the other hand, became title favourites after a run which saw the Reds pick up 14 wins from 16, including 11 straight victories."
Liverpool surged into title contention in 2013/14 under Brendan Rodgers with an attack led by Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. The Reds won 14 of 16 matches, including 11 consecutive victories, to become favourites. Manchester City spent only three weeks atop the table but timed a late-season surge to finish first in gameweeks 37 and 38. A 2-0 Anfield defeat by Chelsea featured Steven Gerrard's slip that led to a Demba Ba goal and became an infamous moment. Liverpool then surrendered a 3-0 lead at Crystal Palace, conceding three late goals. Manchester City secured the title by two points.
