Rebecca and Alex are back with another special and this time we're looking at big 'What If?' moments in the history of both Liverpool and Chelsea.

These five famous sliding doors moments had huge ramifications for both clubs and we consider how the trajectory of both teams' futures could have changed if those moments had happened differently - and how the whole landscape of football could have been altered.

What would have happened if Jesper Grønkjær never scored the £1 billion goal? What if Chelsea hadn't signed Andriy Shevchenko? What if Rafa Benitez's infamous 'facts' rant never took place? What if Andres Iniesta didn't score that last minute goal for Barcelona vs Chelsea in 2009? And what if Luis Garcia's 'ghost goal' had never been given, after all?

From Jose Mourinho's future at Chelsea to Steven Gerrard's decision to stay at Liverpool - to even wider ramifications such as Pep Guardiola and Alex Ferguson's legacies in football, altering these historic moments could have had wide ranging effects on football history.

Plus, packing bags quicker than Mickey Mouse, horse's milk, Drogba the shrimp, 17 month breakdowns, waking up in cold sweats, slips and self importance, wet wipes and Hendo, gas hallucinations, literally being a ghost, and would Rebecca and Alex even have met if not for Luis Garcia?

Let us know how you think football history could have changed if these five moments never happened.
