Liverpool

Liverpool enjoyed an excellent start to their campaign the victory over United was the first at Anfield for a number of years and better was to follow as they snapped Chelsea’s four-year unbeaten home run at Stamford Bridge. A 0-0 home draw with Stoke, seemed like a blip and their first defeat didn’t arrive until November at White Hart Lane, but their challenge has been undermined by three successive home draws to Fulham, West Ham and Hull - all teams that the Reds would expect to beat at Anfield. Incredibly, following their last four games, despite taking only six points from a possible 12, they have actually moved up from second to top spot in the Premier league.
