Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has suggested it was Jordan Henderson's suspension and not a slip from Steven Gerrard that cost Liverpool the 2013/14 Premier League title.

Rodgers' Liverpool side won 12 of their last 14 Premier League games at the end of the 2013-14 season.

But a loss to Chelsea - in which the infamous Gerrard slip occurred - and a draw at Crystal Palace saw Manchester City claim the title.

Speaking ahead of a reunion with his former club this weekend, Rodgers says it was the loss of Henderson which caused them to drop points.

"The story that went unnoticed was Jordan [Henderson] was unavailable for three of the last four games because of a last-minute sending off against City,'" he told The Telegraph.

"He was a huge miss for us that day (against Chelsea).

"But as time goes on and you see the images and you realise how well we played that season so I don't lose sleep about it."
