Darwin Nunez came excruciatingly close to finding an opener for Liverpool late in the first-half of action at Anfield.
The Uruguayan international would have enjoyed a perfect return to the first-XI, following his three-game suspension, but for the heroics of Jordan Pickford who tipped an effort from the striker onto the bar just before Luis Diaz struck the post
A strange half from Jurgen Klopp’s men left them heading into the break without a goal scored by either outfit, at the time of writing.
