Comments:

League position: 5th Liverpool had now lost just one of their last 12 home Premier League games (eight wins). A plane was flown over Anfield before the match with a banner attached calling for Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers to be replaced by former boss Rafael Benitez.

Comments:

League position: 19th Queens Park Rangers' only league victory at Liverpool was a 3-1 win on 30 March 1991. This defeat meant that the Hoops would almost certainly have to win all of their last three games to have any chance of avoiding relegation to the League Championship. They had now won just two of their last 18 Premier League games (lost 12). Steven Gerrard's winner was the 100th goal in Rangers' Premier League games in 2014-15 (39 for and 61 against).
