Liverpool failed in their attempt to become the first team to win on three consecutive league visits to Stamford Bridge since Blackburn Rovers in May 1996 (both Premier League).
This was the first game in the Premier League to allow licensed standing areas after all-seater stadiums had become compulsory in the 1994-95 season. The introduction of rail seating removed the movement allowed in the previous terrace structures.
