Cesar Azpilicueta has fond memories of playing at Anfield
Steven Gerrard’s slip gifted Demba Ba an opening goal before Willian netted a late second to end Liverpool’s 16-match unbeaten streak in a defeat that floored Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Now, Jurgen Klopp’s men lead second-placed City by two points with five matches to go – although they have played a game more.
However, they entertain a Chelsea side unbeaten in eight games at Anfield in all competitions since a 4-1 defeat in May 2012.
“It was a few years ago, but we went there and they had the party ready because they were smashing every team at Anfield,” said Azpilicueta.
