June 21, 2020 - Liverpool's quest for a first Premier League title in 30 years hangs in the balance after a 0-0 draw with Everton in a Merseyside derby on Sunday.

Despite dominating possession, the Reds struggled to break down their hosts, who came closest to scoring through Tom Davies' post strike and Dominic Calvert-Lewin's saved effort.

Liverpool's 23-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table remains intact, but their title hopes will now depend on City dropping points in their remaining games.

Should City fail to beat Burnley on Monday, Liverpool could clinch the title on home soil against Crystal Palace on Wednesday. However, if City win both their remaining games, Liverpool's next chance to win the title will come when they travel to Manchester City on July 2.
