Where are they now? Chelsea’s XI from the ‘Gerrard slip’ win at Anfield

On April 27, 2014, Chelsea marched into Anfield and ruined Liverpool’s title party courtesy of a slapstick Steven Gerrard slip. We imagine Jose Mourinho had the soundest sleep of his life afterwards, but how have Chelsea’s players fared since that day?

With their own title chances compromised by a shock defeat to Sunderland, Mourinho and Chelsea resolved to ruin Liverpool’s hopes of a first championship win since 1990.

Despite an unfamiliar line-up, Chelsea played the occasion perfectly, frustrating their hosts and scoring two goals on the counter-attack. And yes, one came as the direct result of the most infamous slip in Premier League history.

Chelsea’s travelling support took immense satisfaction from the victory and, not knowingly refusing a chance to wind up the opposition, Mourinho milked the moment for everything it was worth. Neither side won the league, but Chelsea had an afternoon to savour.

We’ve investigated what Chelsea’s XI from that infamous afternoon at Anfield are doing now.

Signed to warm the bench at Chelsea, Schwarzer became the oldest player to represent them in the Premier League when he played against Sunderland the week before Anfield, aged 41 years and 195 days.

And the goalkeeper made some outstanding saves to keep Liverpool at bay and help Chelsea secure an improbable victory. His clean sheet against Liverpool was his 150th in the Premier League clean, a tally only Petr Cech and David James can match.

Schwarzer left Chelsea in the summer of 2015 and joined Leicester for their title-winning campaign, although he did not play a match.

Having made 514 Premier League appearances – a record for a non-British player – Schwarzer retired in 2016 and has since gone to ground in Australia.
