The post-Graham Potter era at Stamford Bridge began with a 0-0 draw as Chelsea and Liverpool again proved unable to break the deadlock.
It finished goalless between these two sides at Anfield earlier in the season, as it did in both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals after 120 minutes a year ago, and once more the scoresheet was untroubled in Chelsea’s first match since the managerial change. On early evidence, Bruno Saltor in interim charge will not result in a significant upturn in form.
