    Everton 0-0 Liverpool

    Former Everton winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    Before half-time Everton were just hanging on a bit, but since that substitution they have looked like they want to win the game and maybe they can. They look better going forward but there are massive gaps in midfield.

    Another great tackle! Virgil van Dijk is a weapon in the Everton box this time, he heads a free-kick back across goal and locates Fabinho eight yards out.

    Could he have hit that first time? He takes it on his knee and is about to slam home but Lucas Digne arrives to sweep it away!

    Richarlison loops a header straight at Alisson but there's no real power in it. As it stands, remember, Liverpool end the day in second place.

    Former Everton winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    It looks like Everton have gone to 4-4-2, and that is ultra-positive but very open

    I'm not sure any Manchester City fans watching will be too happy about that!

    Liverpool look better already. Mo Salah slides in Roberto Firmino on the right, he stands up a cross which Sadio Mane can reach but he can't direct his header back in on goal and Everton clear...

    Vote Firmino! He goes through the middle, Sadio Mane moving to his more familiar home on the left of the Liverpool front three.

    Everton have gone 4-4-2.

    Everton 0-0 Liverpool

    Former Everton winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    You look at the games left and how Manchester City are playing and it is definitely two points dropped if Liverpool do not go on to win this.

    Jordan Pickford puts another clearance out of play. He has made the most passes in the opposition half for Everton all game. From goal!

    Richarlison comes on for Theo Walcott.

  11. 'Golden opportunities' missedpublished at 17:31 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2019

    Everton 0-0 Liverpool

    Former Everton winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    Everton thought Mane was offside but he didn't get the ball, and Salah is through one-on-one again. Surely Salah scores that last season. That is two golden opportunities he hasn't been able to take.

    BBC Radio 5 Live's Gary Flintoff at Goodison Park: "It looks like we are edging closer to the first substitution of the afternoon. Both Everton and Liverpool have the maximum allowed three players warming up on this near touchline. It won’t be long now…"

    Another goal kick from Jordan Pickford goes clean out of play. So scruffy.

    Here come Liverpool - what a tackle! Joel Matip steps out of defence like Alan Hansen, his pass deflects into the path of Mo Salah, looks like goal time but Michael Keane somehow gets in to win it! Brilliant defending.

    Everton 0-0 Liverpool

    Former Everton winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    That is Everton's best chance by quite some distance. I think that is the best chance that Everton will have, from corners and free kicks, they have the likes of Zouma and Calvert-Lewin who are good in the air.

    Decent effort! Dominic Calvert-Lewin heads down from a corner, it's well directed but Alisson moves his feet well to get across and make the save. That chance came from Fabinho playing a very wild pass straight to Theo Walcott.

    At the other end Trent Alexander-Arnold curls a free-kick straight at Jordan Pickford.

    Chief football writer Phil McNulty: "Jurgen Klopp applauds Trent Alexander-Arnold as he tries to slide in Mo Salah but pushes the pass too far. Everton are full of energy if not quality and this might be settled by a single goal."

    Liverpool's two full-backs are pushing on a bit more since the break. Somehting needs to open up somewhere.

  18. 'Calvert-Lewin static'published at 17:21 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2019

    Everton 0-0 Liverpool

    Former Everton winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    There is not enough movement in front of the Everton players when they get the ball in midfield. Calvert-Lewin is getting very little out of the Liverpool defenders, he is too static.

    The Bobby Firmino creche will be the intro to Phil McNulty's match report at the moment.

    Over to you lads to conjure something better...

    Roberto Firmino has just been handed a baby in the dugout, had a picture taken with it, and then he handed it back. By an Everton fan, presumably.

    Is he standing in a by election?!
