Liverpool missed the chance to return to the summit of the Premier League after a 0-0 draw with Everton in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
In what was a typically tight and tense affair, neither side were able to find a winner as they matched each other stride for stride.
Liverpool had the game's best chance on the half hour mark when Mohamed Salah was put through one-on-one against Jordan Pickford, but the Everton shot stopper did well to anticipate Salah's effort and parry it away from goal.
After delivering an uninspiring performance at Old Trafford last weekend, the onus was on Liverpool's attack to deliver the killer blow against Everton that would have seen them return to the top of the Premier League.
