Soccer-Gerrard's cruel slip could end Liverpool's title hopes

While Luis Suarez's 30 goals have provided much of the impetus behind Liverpool's remarkable rise to Premier League title contenders this season, captain Steven Gerrard has been the beating heart at the centre of the Merseyside revival. Unfortunately for the 33-year-old midfielder, who has spent his entire professional career at the club, his slip in Sunday's 2-0 defeat by Chelsea may prove costly if Liverpool's 24-year wait for a title continues beyond the season. Just before halftime at Anfield, Gerrard slipped while receiving a routine pass from Mamadou Sakho, allowing Chelsea striker Demba Ba to race in on goal to put the visitors one up.
