CHELSEA and Liverpool were both left frustrated after a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
It was Chelsea’s first game since the dismissal of Graham Potter as manager.
Chelsea, under the charge of interim boss Bruno Saltor, were the better, more dangerous team but, as so often during Potter’s ill-fated reign, they failed to capitalise on several clear opportunities on goal.
Liverpool avoided suffering four-straight defeats in all competitions, but did little to suggest that they’re ready to make a late charge for the top four.
Following a fourth consecutive 0-0 draw between the two struggling Premier League giants, Liverpool sit in eighth position, seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with 10 games remaining.
Chelsea, who parted ways with Potter following a 2-0 home loss to Aston Villa on Saturday, remain in the bottom half of the table, in 11th spot.
“Both teams played last year in two finals, two of the best 0-0s I ever saw,” Jurgen Klopp said.
“Today it was two teams low on confidence but really fighting. We’re fine with a point, a lot of good stuff. We showed a lot of fight. We have to keep going.”
