Liverpool 0-0 Stoke City: 5 Talking Points

#4 Stoke City keep themselves alive!

Paul Lambert is now unbeaten in all of his 5 visits to Anfield

The signs weren't ominous for Stoke coming into this game. The Potters hadn't won at Anfield in their last 53 attempts, Liverpool had not lost a game at home all season and with Salah in his monstrous current form, the home side were hoping for an easy win.

But Stoke showed immense spirit on the night to give themselves a slender hope of survival. The away side displayed resilient character to keep one of Europe's deadliest attacks silent.

They also had a late chance to knick a smash-and-grab winner but Ryan Shawcross could not finish his chance.

With this draw, Stoke City now have 30 points in the bag, three points away from Swansea City and safety.

The Swans play Chelsea later tonight and Stoke will be hoping for some much-needed help from Conte's men.

Stoke also play Swansea in two weeks time which may well decide the fate for one those sides.

Meanwhile, with this draw at Anfield, the Potters have kept their hopes alive for yet another season in the first division.
