20th March 1988!!
Liverpool finished the season as League Champions but their dream of an unbeaten season in the League ended on this day in 1988 after being unbeaten in their first 29 League matches of the season. The team that beat them, inevitably I guess....Everton!Liverpool won the league title by nine points, and with only two defeats all season. It was the club's 17th title. Second in the league were Manchester United.
The automatically relegated sides were Watford, Oxford Utd and Portsmouth with Chelsea subsequently relegated as well, after losing to Middlesborough in the play off final.
