With a host of injuries afflicting the squad, Jürgen Klopp made five changes to his line-up – including maiden starts this season for Nathaniel Clyne and Danny Ings.
Ragnar Klavan and Georginio Wijnaldum were deployed in different roles than usual, meanwhile, as the Reds claimed a Premier League point in the middle of their Champions League clash with Manchester City.
Loris Karius keeps up excellent form
The stalemate at Goodison Park means the Liverpool goalkeeper has now recorded eight clean sheets in his last 15 appearances in all competitions.
Karius’ most significant contribution to the shutout was his exceptional reach to tip a Yannick Bolasie curler from outside the area around the post during the first half.
