In the English Premier League (EPL), Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp admits his side were "lucky" as Everton had a flurry of late chances but the Merseyside derby finishes goalless at Goodison Park on Sunday, AllNews reports.

"All our previous derbies here haven't been any better, there's not a lot of football," Klopp told the press after the match.

"Most of the time we were dominant but they had the biggest chance.

"We were lucky in that moment but apart from that we were in control."

Furthermore, the German tactician suggests his half-time withdrawal of Takumi Minamino was planned to make the most of the new five substitutions rule.

"Before the game I had an idea I wanted to change really early. Taki played well. Naby played well.

"It had nothing to do with Taki's performance. It was just my idea to try it."

The Reds can win the EPL title on Wednesday if Manchester City drop points against Burnley on Monday.
