It just had to be Chelsea. The team who caused Steven Gerrard the most painful defeat of his playing career produced a victory that will only increase the pressure on his position as Aston Villa manager.
In 2014, Gerrard lost his footing at Anfield in a game against Chelsea, leading to a goal for Demba Ba and a 2-0 loss that put a huge dent in Liverpool's title hopes.
The former England captain was haunted by that moment for years to come. Will this defeat come to make him feel the same way?
