Notes

- Jamie Carragher's 500th match, who also captains the side in the match.
- Gerrard revealed he asked Rafa not take him off yet so he could score a hat-trick: "The manager called me over and said he was about to take me off. I pleaded with him to give me five minutes more because I wanted to get my hat-trick. I'm made up he let me because it's always nice to get three goals."
