Brendan Rodgers Had Liverpool sit at the top of the Premier League table
Once a regular event at Anfield, 24 years have down since the last top-flight Victory celebration on Mersey side.
That wait could soon not be over, but there's still work to be done if Rodgers dreams to be the man to deliver English football's grandest prize.
He had Liverpool sit top of the table, two points clear of the chasing pack but with potentially pivotal clashes against fellow enthusiasts Manchester City and Chelsea in the 2013/2014 season.
Rodgers understands best that expectation is boiling with each passing fixture, with Liverpool having won their last few matches in a row, but says he enjoys working under such circumstances and therefore will look to embrace the challenges.
He once said in the Daily Star: "I'm loving every minute of it.
"This is brilliant. I may not have been in this position before, but I have been in football a long time.
"This is only my fifth year as a manager, but I've been stood on the touchline coaching for 20 years. I'm really enjoying seeing us develop.
"When you play and work for a club like Liverpool, there's pressure every day of your life.
"I walk past the European Cup every day when I come into the training ground. That can be pressure, but only if you let it be pressure.
"We've worked hard all season to be in this position. Now we're there, we're going to fight and work even harder.
"I've been through much worse things in my life than being in the title race at the top of the Premier League. It's insignificant in terms of some psychological things which have gone on."
