Liverpool returned to Premier League action with a goalless draw against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday evening.
The Reds restarted their campaign with a Merseyside derby stalemate in a fixture contested behind closed doors at the home of their neighbours.
In only the third top-flight game Jürgen Klopp’s side have dropped points in this season, it was the Blues who went closest to winning it when Tom Davies struck the post late on.
The result did, however, extend Liverpool’s lead at the top to 23 points with eight games left to play.
