Neither team managed to have a shot on target in the first half

Both managers had plenty of food for thought at the break after neither team managed to record a shot on target in the first half. Despite dominating the play, Everton were unable to trouble Simon Mignolet much (with the Belgian keeper being kept busier by attempts to clear the back-passes by his own teammates!).

The Liverpool attack, leading the goals tally in the league, also failed to threaten the Everton goal and create many chances as well, with Divock Origi shooting wide from a rare opening for the visitors in the first half.
