Liverpool missed the chance to close the gap to Newcastle United yesterday afternoon after playing out a dour goalless draw with Chelsea at Anfield.
In a game lacking any quality at both ends of the pitch, Jurgen Klopp's side were forced to settle for a share of the spoils and are now winless in their last three Premier League outings.
The Reds will know all too well draws are going to prove of little use if they are to finish in the top four come May as the team look to reduce the ten-point gap to the Champions League places in the weeks ahead. An opportunity to reduce this margin went begging yesterday after Newcastle were held to a draw at the home of Crystal Palace.
