Liverpool drew 0-0 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Tuesday night.

Chelsea and Liverpool played out a fourth consecutive goalless draw between the sides thanks to a 0-0 draw in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge today.

The Blues began life without sacked manager Graham Potter against another side who have failed to meet their targets this season and will feel they should win to move within a point of their visitors.

However, the change on the bench did not lead to a change in Chelsea’s line-up in the final period as caretaker manager Bruno Saltor saw the team lose a number of positions.

Joao Félix, Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz were to blame for the home team’s brilliant start, with Reece James’ goal disallowed for offside and Havertz’s goal for handball.

A much-changed Liverpool offered little in response, with their best moments coming through Joe Gomez and Fabinho late in the first half, and Jurgen Klopp’s men were lucky to leave west London with a point after their latest lackluster performance. One season they will desperately resign themselves to the past

The point is still enough for Liverpool to move up to eighth, but they are still seven points adrift of a Champions League spot as they are just one game ahead of fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and have played a game more than Newcastle United and Manchester United. . .

Chelsea, meanwhile, remain in 11th place after winning 10, drawing nine and losing 10 of their 29 games this season, leaving them 11 points off the top four.

It was another hugely frustrating night for Chelsea fans as they once again saw many of the ill effects of Graham Potter’s ill-fated seven-month reign, particularly his profligacy in front of goal.

The Blues could have been 3-0 up inside the first 12 minutes after breaking through a devastating Liverpool defense in the early stages as Joel Matip denied Félix and Ibrahim Konate blocked Kovačić’s shot on the line just five minutes after kick-off.

Alisson Becker then came to Liverpool’s rescue to deny Havertz out of nowhere before James finally got on the back of the ball, only to see his ferocious first-time shot ruled out for offside against Enzo Fernández.

The visitors threatened to smash and grab late in the first half when Joe Gomez saved a flying Kepo Arrizabalaga, Fabinho then saw a corner saved by Wesley Fofana.

However, the best chances fell Chelsea’s way and they again had to bemoan a lack of ruthlessness at the start of the second half when Kovacic spilled over as he cleared the net.

Moments later, they finally thought they had a lucky break when Alisson denied Havertz one-on-one but then saw the ball bounce off the Chelsea striker into an empty net, but VAR revealed that the final touch had come from Havertz. arms in a cruel twist of fate.

Klopp is a relieved manager with a point as Liverpool have at least snapped a three-game losing streak, although he will again be concerned about how easily they opened up their defense time and time again, especially with the manager. League champions Arsenal visit Anfield this weekend.

After warning before the game that only “two or three” players were sure of their place in his squad, Klopp made six changes to the starting line-up with the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah. . significant absences..

However, any hopes that trying something new would boost the team’s confidence proved unfounded as Liverpool put in another lackluster performance that was sorely lacking in confidence.

Chelsea, on the other hand, played with great confidence until the final third, where it never looked like they could capitalize on the number of chances they created.

The result marks the fourth successive goalless draw between the two sides, making it only the third game between the two best teams in English football history to see multiple consecutive goalless draws.

It is also the sixth time in a row that a match has ended in a draw – the first time in Liverpool’s history that this has happened against a specific opponent and the first time since 1956 for Chelsea.

However, despite the disappointment, Liverpool have now gone a club record five consecutive league visits to Stamford Bridge without losing.
