Liverpool

Liverpool Football Club (Liverpool) is an English football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside, and are the current champions of Europe and the most successful English football team to date. Since being founded in 1892, Liverpool have won five European Cups, and 18 Football League titles on top of being the English club to have won the most number of UEFA Cups, European Supercups and English League Cups. The club's home ground is Anfield stadium, which is about three miles from the centre of Liverpool.

The club was founded on March 15, 1892 by John Houlding, the owner of Anfield. Houlding decided to form his own team after Everton left Anfield in an argument over rent. The original name was to be Everton F.C. but was changed to Liverpool F.C. (after the F.A. refused to recognise the team as Everton). Liverpool were elected to the Football League alongside Woolwich Arsenal two years later.

In recent times Liverpool have developed a bitter rivalry with Chelsea, Liverpool tend to play better in cup games between the 2 but Chelsea having a firm advantage in Liverpool v Chelsea Premier league games.
