The draw means Liverpool are unbeaten in eight games against top-six opposition this season, with four wins and four draws, but they have suffered defeats away to Burnley and Bournemouth and at home to Swansea.

"That's the most important thing. If you do it one game and then not the next it will cost you points.

"We saw in January that if you are not sharp, if you don't play how we used to play, it will cost us points.

"It was a good thing we did it against Chelsea but we've already done it against the big teams and we must now make sure we do it against the small teams.

"We have to continue the performance we showed on Tuesday. It is important to carry on the way we did today and get a few points otherwise today was for nothing."
