Liverpool U23s played out a goalless draw with Burnley in the group stage of the Premier League Cup at Bamber Bridge FC on Friday afternoon.
The result means Neil Critchley’s side must win their final game away at Bournemouth if they are to stand a chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the competition.
This was the Reds’ fourth successive draw in the tournament and although they remain bottom of Group C, a victory on the south coast could still secure one of the two qualifying spots.
It was a tough, physical encounter played in a swirling, gale-force wind at the Sir Tom Finney Stadium and overall a draw was a fair result against a Burnley side managed by former England star Steve Stone.
