Brendan Rodgers oversaw one of Liverpool's most memorable victories of the Premier League era, when their exciting team eased past Arsenal at Anfield in February 2014. It was a win that gave Liverpool even more belief they could finally end their league title drought. Two goals apiece for Raheem Sterling and Martin Skrtel, and one more for Daniel Sturridge secured the win in emphatic style

Speaking exclusively to The Coaches' Voice, Rodgers revisits the game plan that involved Sterling combining with Sturridge, Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho to such devastating effect.
