Chelsea moved to within three points of Manchester United in third place in the Premier League after a 0-0 draw with Liverpool in a poor match at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

United were upset 2-1 at Old Trafford by local rivals Manchester City in the day's earlier match, missing the chance to snatch the lead from Arsenal for at least 24 hours.

Arsenal, who play Blackburn Rovers on Monday, have 60 points from 25 matches and victory will move them five points clear of United, who have 58 from 26.

Chelsea, whose unbeaten run at home in the league was extended to 76 matches, have 55 points with Everton, 1-0 winners at home against Reading on Saturday, fourth on 47 points.

Liverpool's point took them above Manchester City and Aston Villa into fifth place, equal with both on 44 points but ahead on goal difference.

Chelsea: Cech, Belletti, Carvalho, Alex, Ashley Cole, Ballack, Makelele, Lampard (Obi 71'), Wright-Phillips (Malouda 64'), Anelka, Joe Cole (Pizarro 86').

Liverpool: Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Skrtel, Riise, Gerrard, Mascherano, Lucas, Babel (Pennant 71'), Crouch, Kuyt.
