2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
The 2013–14 season was Liverpool Football Club's 122nd season in existence, their 52nd consecutive season in the top flight of English football, and the club's 22nd consecutive season in the Premier League. The club also competed in the FA Cup and the League Cup.


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
Liverpool enjoyed a memorable season, scoring 101 league goals; the highest number of goals scored by a Premier League runner-up and also the fourth highest number of goals ever scored in the Premier League, as of 2020.


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
Luis Suárez finished as the league's top scorer with 31 goals, winning the Premier League Golden Boot as well as the PFA Players' Player of the Year, while Daniel Sturridge was the league's second highest scorer with 21. Steven Gerrard topped the official Premier League assists with 13.


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
Liverpool had a pre-season dominated by speculation about whether Luis Suárez would leave the club. Suárez had served four matches of a ten-match ban for biting Branislav Ivanović in the previous season and Arsenal reportedly agreed terms and offered £40,000,001 for the player based on a rumoured £40 million release clause in Suárez's contract. Suárez stated he would like to leave the club and was then told to train away from the first-team squad. On 8 August, Liverpool owner John W. Henry stated that Suárez would not be allowed to leave the club.


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
A Simon Mignolet penalty save on the opening day gave Liverpool the first of three 1–0 victories to begin the season. A subsequent draw and loss saw Liverpool in fifth place on the table when Suárez completed his ban. From the next match until the end of the season Liverpool would average 2.9 goals per game. They were top of the table at Christmas before back-to-back 2–1 losses at Manchester City and Chelsea.


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
A 5–1 win over Arsenal on 5 February featured four Liverpool goals in the opening 20 minutes and was to be the first of an 11-game winning run that included Liverpool beating their title rival, Manchester City, on 13 April, in the same week as the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. A subsequent mid-week Manchester City draw meant Liverpool would win the league if they got ten points from their remaining 4 games.


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
Their next match was a 2–3 away win to Norwich City that secured Liverpool's pre-season aim of qualifying for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League. But the subsequent 0–2 home defeat to Chelsea put the title back in Manchester City's favour due to their significantly better goal difference.


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
That pivotal match was marred by Chelsea's "comically brazen" time-wasting, that went unpunished until the 93rd minute by Martin Atkinson (despite José Mourinho telling his players he wanted "at least two bookings for time-wasting before half-time") and it is foremost known for a Steven Gerrard slip that led to Chelsea's key goal by Demba Ba. Gerrard has spoken of his anguish over the slip, saying it was "even tougher than what people probably think it was".


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
However other key moments cited as playing a part in Liverpool falling short of the title include Raheem Sterling incorrectly having a goal disallowed at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium despite being on-side by over a metre; Kolo Touré passing the ball to Victor Anichebe allowing West Bromwich Albion to earn a draw on 2 February; and Jordan Henderson's 93rd minute sending-off (and associated three-match ban) in the home game versus Manchester City, which Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers thought was "a huge miss for us" because Liverpool "couldn't replace Jordan".


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
Liverpool's attempts to reverse Manchester City's +9 goal difference advantage in their penultimate game against Crystal Palace saw their initial 0–3 lead pegged back to a 3–3 draw. Liverpool finished in second place, by two points, after they defeated Newcastle United on the final day. This represented the closest the club had come to winning the league title since 1990.


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season
The season was the first since 1995-96 without Jamie Carragher, who retired after the 2012-13 season.


2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season, Competitions, Premier League
This season recorded an all-time high mark of goals scored by Liverpool not only in Premier League seasons, but in all their English top flight seasons. Only in 1895–96 Division 2 did the Reds score more league goals over the course of a season – 106 versus 101 they netted this season.

2013–14 Luton Town F.C. season
Luton started their 2013–14 campaign slowly, scoring only two goals from open play in their first eight games to leave the club in the lower reaches of mid-table. However, performances and results soon picked up, resulting in a club-record 27-match unbeaten run in which the team scored 78 goals. Luton reached the top of the table just before the turn of the year and remained in that position for the rest of the campaign.

2013–14 Luton Town F.C. season
This article covers the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014.


2013–14 Luton Town F.C. season, Background
After two unsuccessful attempts for promotion back to the Football League in the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons, Luton dismissed manager Gary Brabin and appointed Paul Buckle in April 2012 in an attempt to reach the play-offs as the 2011–12 campaign drew to a close. Buckle oversaw five wins in eight games as Luton reached the play-off final, though ultimately lost to York City.


2013–14 Luton Town F.C. season, Background
Buckle quickly began moulding his own team for the 2012–13 season, releasing 14 players and signing eight new ones, although two signings in the form of Garry Richards and Danny Spiller did not play a single game as they both suffered long-term injuries. The club started the season well, and was one point from the top of the table after the first third of the season. However, the club's league form soon nosedived and they went on to win only three league games over the course of the next four months.


2013–14 Luton Town F.C. season, Background
Victories over higher-league opponents Wolverhampton Wanderers and Norwich City in the FA Cup gave some respite, but "genuine personal reasons" saw Paul Buckle leave the club in February. Under his replacement, John Still, performances and results gradually picked up to culminate in a late five-game unbeaten run, but the club could not challenge for a play-off finish and ended the season in a club-record low of seventh place.


2013–14 Luton Town F.C. season, Background
Still began his own rebuilding of the squad a month before the last game of the season by releasing six players. He later released three more, transfer listed five others, and then signed players he had either worked with or scouted previously at Dagenham & Redbridge in the form of Solomon Taiwo, Scott Griffiths, Alex Wall and Elliot Justham. Defender Anthony Charles, who had won the Conference with two other clubs, and Hull City striker Mark Cullen also joined the club in the close-season. Still committed existing players to new contracts, with goalkeeper Mark Tyler, defender Steve McNulty, midfielders Matt Robinson and Dave Martin, and player of the season Alex Lawless signing new deals.

In addition to changes in the playing staff, there were also alterations to the backroom team, as first team coach Alan Neilson left to be replaced by Grays Athletic manager Hakan Hayrettin on 5 July.

Later in the month, Luton signed former Northampton Town midfielder Luke Guttridge on a free transfer. The 31-year-old signed a two-year contract.

United were ultimately eliminated during the quarter-finals in April, with defending champions Bayern Munich beating them 4–2 on aggregate.


2013–14 Manchester United F.C. season

His last game, two days earlier, had ended in 2–0 defeat at his old club Everton. 40-year-old player-coach Ryan Giggs was placed in charge for United's remaining games, from which they collected seven points. A seventh place in the league was United's lowest finish since 1990 and meant that they had missed out on European qualification for the first time since 1989–90 (when English clubs were still banned from European competitions due to the Heysel Stadium disaster of 1985). The last time outside the Heysel ban era that United had missed out on a place in Europe was in 1980–81.

Dutch coach Louis van Gaal was confirmed as Manchester United's new manager on a three-year contract on 19 May 2014, with Giggs appointed as his assistant. On the same day, Giggs announced his retirement as a player after a career spanning nearly 25 years, during which he had played almost 1,000 competitive games for the club and won 34 trophies.

It was a period of change for United's staff. In May 2013, manager Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement after 26 years of service, having just won his 13th Premier League title that season and United's 20th overall. Earlier in February 2013, it was made known that chief executive David Gill would be stepping down after 16 years of service, with 10 years as chief executive. Each announcement was accompanied with the naming of their successors, who would take over on 1 July 2013. David Moyes, aged 50, manager of Everton and a Scotsman like Ferguson, was appointed as the new United manager. Ed Woodward assumed the top executive role at United, although he retained the title of executive vice-chairman.

Moyes looked to appoint his own coaching staff as he started his reign. In May 2013, assistant manager Mike Phelan and goalkeeping coach Eric Steele left the club. First-team coach René Meulensteen followed a month later. All three had served in their respective positions since 2008, while Phelan and Meulensteen had worked in other roles at United since 2001. In their place, Moyes brought in staff from Everton to join him in July, appointing Steve Round as assistant manager, Chris Woods as goalkeeping coach and Jimmy Lumsden as coach. In July, veteran United winger Ryan Giggs became a player-coach, while former United and Everton player Phil Neville was also added to the coaching staff.


2013–14 Manchester United F.C. season, Pre-season and friendlies
United preceded their 2013–14 campaign with a global tour of Asia, Australia and Europe, before returning to Old Trafford for Rio Ferdinand's testimonial match against Sevilla, marking the defender's 11 years with the club. United's pre-season saw them suffer three defeats in seven games, which was described as "poor" and "miserable". One of the defeats came against the Thai All-Star XI, which was David Moyes' first game in charge. By the time the pre-season ended, United were struggling off the pitch as well, having made no major signings at that point.

Moyes admitted that the "transition from Everton to Manchester United has been difficult at times". Regarding the lack of major signings, Moyes pointed out that he "got the job on 1 July" and were on tour for the next three weeks, as well as the fact that "the level [he had] been shopping in the past [was] not the level Manchester United have been shopping in".

During this period, United had to battle to retain the services of their striker Wayne Rooney. Near the end of the previous season, weeks before Sir Alex Ferguson's announcement of retirement, Rooney was reported to have verbally asked to leave the club despite not handing in a transfer request. After Moyes took over, Rooney was left angered and confused by comments by Moyes which seemed to indicate that Rooney would be playing second fiddle to fellow striker Robin van Persie. Chelsea attempted to sign Rooney, with Chelsea manager José Mourinho openly declaring his high interest, but United insisted that Rooney was not for sale.


2013–14 Manchester United F.C. season, FA Community Shield
As Premier League champions, United began the season against the holders of the FA Cup, Wigan Athletic in the Community Shield. The match, which was David Moyes' first competitive fixture in charge of Manchester United, was played at Wembley on 11 August. United ran out 2–0 winners due to two goals from Robin van Persie in a game where they played "with a sense of control" but failed to "emphasise the gulf between the two clubs more emphatically". This was United's (and Moyes') first silverware of the season. The Shield was ultimately Moyes' only honour as United manager.


2013–14 Manchester United F.C. season, Premier League, August and September
United faced a tough start to the 2013–14 league season; within the first five games in August and September, three were against Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. After the fixtures were decided, manager David Moyes publicly questioned whether the draw was done fairly for the defending champions. Moyes' first league game in charge of Manchester United saw them visit Swansea City on 17 August. It was a bright start for United as they ran out 4–1 winners with doubles from Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck, while substitute Wayne Rooney played a part in two goals. This put United at the top of the league, a height they would never replicate that season.

United's first home game of the season was against José Mourinho's Chelsea. They played out a stalemate for the first 0–0 game since 2009 at Old Trafford in 77 Premier League games. Rooney, who was being courted by Chelsea at the time, performed prominently and positively while receiving much support from the Old Trafford crowd. The club's next match saw an "error-prone and inhibited" United falling to fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield for Moyes' first competitive loss. Liverpool led from the fourth minute through Daniel Sturridge and topped the table with their third consecutive 1–0 victory. United, though, were out of the top four, and they stayed out for the rest of the season. United had not failed to score in successive games in six years.

Following the international break, Moyes' first home win came against Crystal Palace on 14 September, during which Ashley Young was yellow carded for diving against Kagisho Dikgacoi, for which Moyes would criticise Young. In another controversial clash near the end of first half, Young this time earned a penalty and Dikgacoi was sent off. Van Persie converted and Rooney later scored from a free kick for a 2–0 win. Also, new signing Maroune Fellaini debuted as a substitute.

United then travelled across town to play a much anticipated fixture against local rivals Manchester City. City opened the scoring through Sergio Agüero in the 16th minute, then doubled their lead via Yaya Touré seconds before half-time. Any thoughts of a comeback for the visitors were dispersed soon after the restart, as Agüero grabbed his second and City's third in the 47th minute. Samir Nasri then added his own name to the scoresheet three minutes later to compound United's misery. Rooney managed to pull a goal back with a 25-yard free kick late on into the game, but it was merely consolation as United fell to their worst defeat at the Etihad Stadium in nine years.

On 28 September, Manchester United hosted West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford. The visitors took the lead in the 54th minute through Morgan Amalfitano, but United responded quickly, levelling the scores with a Rooney free kick three minutes later. However, West Brom hit back immediately, with 20-year-old substitute Saido Berahino grabbing the winner as David Moyes' side slipped to their first home defeat of the season.

On a run of back-to-back Premier League defeats, United then travelled to the Stadium of Light to play against league strugglers Sunderland. Much to Moyes' dismay, it was once again the opposition who struck first, as Craig Gardner capitalised on Nemanja Vidić's error to put the hosts ahead. However, United fired back, as 18-year-old Adnan Januzaj scored twice on his first Premier League start, rescuing a valuable three points for the visitors.

The Red Devils then began a run of four consecutive home games at Old Trafford, beginning with a visit from high-flying Southampton, who boasted the best defensive record in the Premier League. Van Persie's 26th-minute strike looked to have set the hosts on course for a win, but the visitors equalised through a last gasp corner kick, with Dejan Lovren's header deflecting off of Adam Lallana to spoil United's celebrations.

The club then welcomed Stoke City to Old Trafford. Despite holding the worst goalscoring record in the Premier League, Stoke unexpectedly drew first blood through Peter Crouch in the third minute. Van Persie looked to have levelled proceedings heading into half-time with a 43rd-minute strike, but the visitors soon regained their lead seconds before the break, this time through a Marko Arnautović free kick. With the game entering its final 15 minutes, United finally found their equaliser as Rooney headed in Van Persie's corner kick, and less than two minutes later, substitute Javier Hernández completed the comeback as he nodded in Patrice Evra's cross.

On 2 November, Manchester United visited Fulham at Craven Cottage. United began brightly, as Rooney set up Antonio Valencia for the game's opener in the ninth minute, and cemented their lead a few minutes later after two quick-fire goals from Van Persie and Rooney. Alexander Kačaniklić's heavily deflected shot pulled one back for the hosts in the 65th minute, but it was not enough in the end to prevent David Moyes' side from taking the three points, as his team won two consecutive league games for the first time all season.
