LONDON: Liverpool and Chelsea continued their disappointing seasons as the injury-hit mid-table teams played out an uninspiring 0-0 draw at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.

Chelsea thought they had raced into a third-minute lead when Kai Havertz fired home from close range after a corner, only for VAR to rule the German off-side.

Both sides are nine points off the top four with Chelsea having played 20 games to Liverpool's 19. Agencies
