After losing the 2011 Champions League final 1-3 to Barcelona, Alex Ferguson had said: "Nobody's given us a hiding like that."

KOLKATA:

Leading the Premier League standings by four points with a match in hand, Liverpool host relegation-threatened Leicester City, who have not won at Anfield since 2000, on Boxing Day. They have been unbeaten away from home at Christmas. The last time that happened was in 1987-88. And in 1893-94 before that. They have lost once in 25 matches in all competitions this season. And this is not about a favourable run of fixtures.

Twice, Arsenal went ahead, twice Liverpool pulled back. Inside three minutes of Nicolas Jackson's equaliser, Liverpool found a goal against Chelsea through Cody Gakpo. In the season Spurs became the first Premier League team in history to lose 10 points from two goals up, Liverpool have won points after chasing matches against Arsenal, Fulham, Brighton and Southampton. Like champion teams are expected to.
