The 231st Merseyside derby was a typically hard-fought affair, with the Reds spending much of the match on the front foot, but neither side was able to find a breakthrough.
Jordan Pickford denied Dominic Solanke and James Milner in the first half, with Loris Karius repelling Yannick Bolasie’s long-range attempt at the other end, but the second period featured little noteworthy goalmouth action at either end before Everton’s late spell of pressure yielded presentable chances for Seamus Coleman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Those opportunities were spurned, though, and it finished 0-0.
Team news
A combination of injury problems and the timing of this clash - falling in between the two legs of the Champions League quarter-finals - led to Jürgen Klopp making five changes to his line-up.
