Reds held by Blackburn
Liverpool 0 Blackburn 0
Liverpool were reduced to bitter frustration as their bid to close the gap on Everton in fourth place in the Barclays Premiership almost ground to a halt.
A side who reached the Champions League quarter-finals last week failed to break down a defiant, but superbly-organised Blackburn who have now conceded just one goal in six unbeaten matches.
Liverpool’s one point from this crucial game in hand means they go into Sunday’s Mersey derby with Everton still seven points behind their neighbours.
