text: Steven Gerrard looked glum at Boujis nightclub in Kensington after being knocked out of the FA Cup on Sunday - and his Liverpool farewell tour is unlikely to have him breaking into a grin either. The Liverpool captain spent the evening in the VIP room with friends, knowing full well that defeat by Aston Villa at Wembley confirmed what he had feared all season: he would end his final year at Anfield without a trophy. Sunday's loss means there will be no birthday FA Cup final for him on May 30, while Chelsea's victory over Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League made it mathematically impossible for Liverpool to catch the league leaders.

Sunday April 25: West Bromwich Albion (A) Tuesday April 28: Hull City (A) Saturday May 2: Queens Park Rangers (H) Sunday May 10: Chelsea (A) Saturday May 16: Crystal Palace (H) Sunday May 24: Stoke City (A) As the curtain comes down on his 17 years in the Liverpool first-team, Gerrard has just six games left to play in a red shirt with little to play for and a fixture list that seem unlikely to bring his smile back. Among the opponents that late April and May bring are four teams in the bottom half of the Premier League table: West Bromwich Albion, Hull City, Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace. Towards the end of that run, a trip to champions-elect Chelsea beckons and then Gerrard is set to play his final game in England at the Britannia Stadium against Stoke City on May 24, a dead-rubber that is unlikely to even be shown on television. While the supporters from the Kop will undoubtedly give their Champions League-winning captain a huge send off at Anfield against Palace on May 16, it does give a sense of anti-climax after one of the finest careers seen in the Premier League era. Anything but a defeat against Arsenal for Chelsea would likely see them likely to be confirmed as champions before Gerrard comes to Stamford Bridge, and with a title party ongoing he will be reminded of the one prize that has eluded him throughout his career in England. Liverpool's players, including their captain, were outclassed by Villa at Wembley and deservedly lost . Wembley, where Gerrard has captained his country on many occasions, now has a final bad memory for him . Liverpool fans show their support for Gerrard - his latest Anfield appearance is against Crystal Palace . It will also bring back memories of his slip to let in Demba Ba at Anfield, almost a year ago to the day, a fatal error that robbed the 34-year-old of a maiden title last season. The chance of leading a guard of honour if Chelsea seal the league crown against Leicester City or Crystal Palace would rub salt further into the wounds. Jose Mourinho might have asked the Chelsea supporters to stop singing the about Gerrard's unfortunate tumble, but the Stamford Bridge faithful are unlikely to relent as they take the opportunity to give their two-time transfer target a farewell he won't forget - for the wrong reasons. Gerrard slipped up in last year's game against Chelsea to gift Demba Ba a goal and throw away the title . Memories of that mistake will be strong in the mind for Gerrard is Chelsea are celebrating winning the league . England's failure at the World Cup - with Gerrard as captain - followed, and he quit the international game . Gerrard, Jordan Henderson and Wayne Rooney leave the pitch after drawing their final game with Costa Rica . It has been a difficult final year for Gerrard. Missing out on last year's title was followed by captaining England at a winless World Cup and now another trophyless year where he has found himself surplus to Brendan Rodgers' starting XI at times with Jordan Henderson and Joe Allen preferred as options in midfield. The decision to retire from the international game after last summer's tournament, with a focus on his club career, didn't work out either with Liverpool knocked out of all four cups - including at the first possible opportunity in the Champions League. And now, a Premier League legend bids farewell in a way that doesn't seem fitting. There is no big finale like in Istanbul or Cardiff all those years ago, instead Gerrard leaves Liverpool and England with a whimper. Now, the Liverpool captain's  final game is at the Britannia Stadium - though he did score there last year .

Along with Gerrard and Frank Lampard, there's another member of England's much-maligned 'golden generation' who is likely to be leaving the Premier League in the summer: Rio Ferdinand. The Queens Park Rangers defender's farewell season has fallen flat as he spends much of his time sat on the bench at Loftus Road in their relegation battle. Ferdinand struggled from the start of the season at the centre of the Rs defence after moving on from years of loyal service at Manchester United. The 36-year-old's final days in England's top tier are so chilled, that he showed off his ability to watch House of Cards on his way into training in the back of his car on Monday morning. Rio Ferdinand posted this picture of himself watching television while on the way into training on Monday .
