Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea
Anfield, 19:45 Kick Off
Referee: Lee Probert

Man of the Match: Petr Cech, 8.30
Another 0-0 draw for Liverpool, but a slightly better match than last game against Arsenal.
Both teams were very much in the balance, but a solid Liverpool defense and brick wall goalkeeping by Petr Cech insured that no goals were let in.
(Liverpool boss Lewis Edwards)
"We had the chances again, but we couldn't finish them. Their goalkeeper was very strong tonight, and nothing was goin past him.
I can understand that our first 3 competitive games have been against Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea, but we need to do better. We've got Fulham next game. After last season, we know they can cause an upset, so we can't afford an ounce of complacencey. If we do win, that will be a good start heading into the match against Real Madrid the following match."
Liverpool have also been rocked by the injury of Glen Johnson, who during the match, tore his hamstring and will be out for a minimum of 2 months.
"He's a cracking player and he'll be missed. But I think that Jamie Carragher can provide some decent back up for him."
