     It was a stop-start game from beginning to end; opportunities coming at a premium as Jose Mourinho’s men were happy to put men behind the ball. However, David de Gea made two crucial second-half saves to deny firstly Emre Can’s low shot, then Philippe Coutinho’s 30-yard effort that was destined for the top corner.

     Zlatan Ibrahimovic came closest for the visitors when he headed wide at the back post from Paul Pogba’s cross. The Swede will have expected to put the ball on target.
     It was the first domestic draw between the sides in five years and their first scoreless meeting since September 2005.
The outcome looked a distinct possibility from the outset as fouls broke up the play, with few moments of note in a dull first half under the Anfield floodlights.

However, Liverpool dominated the second half but could not find the back of the net. It was a match that didn't seem to light up the expectations of the people.
