Everton vs Liverpool player ratings: Who stood out in the Merseyside derby?
The spoils were shared after a damp and dreary affair at Goodison Park
The 231st Merseyside derby will not live long in the memory as Everton failed to capitalise on a weaker than usual Liverpool side in an uneventful goalless draw at Goodison Park.
With a Champions League quarter-final second leg, in which they lead 3-0, against Manchester City on Tuesday the visitors could be forgiven for being preoccupied and manager Jurgen Klopp's team selection reflected the importance of that game rather than this.
New-look strikeforce Danny Ings and Dominic Solanke were lively if not all that dangerous as the visitors dominated possession and territory for much of the contest.
But despite a late rally in which Seamus Coleman and substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin could have snatched victory the Toffees' seven-and-a-half-year wait for a derby win was extended to 17 matches.
