Liverpool and Chelsea played out a goalless draw in the match of the 21st round of the Premier League.
The derby, which last season provided an incredible level of football and four exciting games, today at “Anfield” afforded a duel to forget.
In the Liverpool team, Stefan Bajcetic, a footballer of Serbian origin, got a chance from the first minute, for whom it was his first start in the Premier League.
It was not without opportunities in Liverpool, even in the second game the “Reds” net was shaken, but Havertz’s goal was canceled due to offside.
Immediately after that, Liverpool threatened at the other end through Gakpo, but the Dutchman failed to score his first goal in the Premier League.
Bad offensive decisions, defensive mistakes, and sloppy passes marked the continuation of the first half. Liverpool played a bit faster in the continuation and the first opportunity fell at the feet of Nabi Keita, but Thiago Silva prevented the goal with a fantastic block.
Chelsea’s most expensive signing in this transfer window, Mihailo Mudrik, got a chance in the second half and brought liveliness to the game of the Blues. Mudrik could have made his debut with a goal, but in the 64th minute, he shot wide of the post after a phenomenal break from the left.
At the end of the match, two chances were seen on both sides. Alexander Arnold was imprecise for the home team, who shot over the goal from about seven meters. At the same time, Chukwuemeka was clumsy in Liverpool’s penalty area and missed the chance to bring Chelsea the triumph.
This was Jurgen Klopp’s 1,000th match in his coaching career and his 411th on the Liverpool bench.
Liverpool is in eighth place in the Premier League with 29 points, the same as 10th Chelsea, with a game in hand.
In the next round, Liverpool will visit Wolverhampton, and Chelsea will welcome Fulham.
