- Premier League side Liverpool played out a goalless draw in their Merseyside derby clash with Liverpool
- Sadio Mane was the only regular forward in Liverpool's attacking trio
- Liverpool's focus will now be on their midweek Champions League clash with Manchester City
Premier League side Liverpool played out a goalless draw with Everton at Goodison park in their earlier Premier League clash on Saturday April 7.
Liverpool were without keyman Mohamed Salah in the clash and it was visibly noticed as they lack the necessary bite going forward.
But it was the Red that showed the first spark of brillance in the 15th minute of the game as Jordan Pickford made a sensational save to thwart a great chance. A rebound fell to Dominic Solanke inside the box and he strike goalwards, but the ball ended up in the keeper's gloves instead of the middle of the target.
