Chelsea and Liverpool continued to underwhelm as their seasons were largely summed up by a fourth successive goalless draw between them.
In their first match since Sunday's sacking of Graham Potter, Chelsea started much the better against a Liverpool side showing six changes from Saturday's loss to Manchester City, with Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz both going close before Reece James had a goal ruled out for offside.
Liverpool took a while to show any real attacking intent, although Fabinho struck a deflected effort just wide before Joe Gomez tested Kepa Arrizabalaga from distance.
