DARWIN NUNEZ, Luis Diaz and Tom Davies have all hit the woodwork as both sides looked close to breaking the deadlock in the Merseyside derby.
The Reds head to Goodison Park on a high after their 98th-minute winner over Newcastle.
Pressure is mounting on Frank Lampard as he witnessed his side fail to secure a victory yet again having been pegged back by Leeds to draw 1-1 at Elland Road.
But a famous win against the Toffees' local rivals could give the Everton boss some breathing space, as well as reignite their season.
