    On that day in Norwich two years ago, a Raheem Sterling brace and a Luis Suarez strike secured a 3-2 win. 

    That goal was Suarez's 30th of the season, and also his penultimate in a Liverpool shirt before he would leave the club for Barcelona.

    In fact, 10 of the 18 players in Liverpool's matchday squad that day have either left or are out on loan.

    From Suarez to sticking Steven Caulker up top. How times change.

    What were you doing on 20 April 2014? 

    Yes, I know, quite a random date to pluck out of the air. A quick check of my old emails tells me I was working that day, otherwise there was nothing particularly special about it.

    For Liverpool fans, it should be quite a memorable date. For that was when they last played Norwich at Carrow Road. More significantly, it was the day the Reds won their 11th successive game to move five points clear at the top of the Premier League.

    That, though, was as good as it got. One slip, a defeat to Chelsea and a draw with Crystal Palace later, and their title hopes were in tatters.

    It might therefore be quite a painful trip down memory lane for Reds fans on the way to Norwich today...
