Rafael Benitez's Liverpool shocked Chelsea at Stamford Bridge as the Blues hadn't lost any of their 86 home games before the clash. 

Liverpool and Chelsea were joint top of the EPL heading into this early-season clash at Stamford Bridge, having both won six and drawn two of their first 8 games of the campaign. The Blues had not lost a match at Stamford Bridge since February 2004. Xabi Alonso's deflected 10th-minute goal gave Liverpool victory.

At the end of that season, Man Utd claimed the EPL trophy with 95 points. Chelsea ranked 2nd with 86 points. Liverpool sat 12 points off the Blues, ranking 4th of the campaign.
