Simon Mignolet insists this current Liverpool team cannot be compared with the 2014 side.
The Reds were on the brink of creating history as they had looked destined to lift the Premier League title following a superb season. But a slip from Steven Gerrard saw Chelsea grabbing all the three points as Jose Mourinho’s side claimed a famous 2-0 win over the Reds at their backyard.
Their title aspirations ended as they blew away a comfortable 3-0 lead against Crystal Palace made a stunning comeback in the last 11 minutes to stun Brendan Rodger’s side.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are currently closing on their first title in the last 28 years and need to overcome the Blues again if they are to win the Premier League this team.
Mignolet said, “The way we play now, after six years at the club, is completely different to what it was then.
“We had a big chance but we were relying on the quality of Luis Suarez’s goal-scoring, whereas now we are more together. We don’t concede many goals, and the threat comes from different angles rather than just one player.
“In that sense we are more solid than when we were back then when we were relying on individual quality and individual players. We are confident of course, especially when we play at home as we have not lost here for a long time [37 matches] and haven’t conceded many goals.
“We are a lot more solid than we were back then so in that sense everyone is a lot more confident in getting the job done unlike back in the day against Chelsea.”
