LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - There was a 33-point gap between champions Liverpool and Manchester United last season so a 0-0 draw at Anfield, which kept Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's visitors top of the table, represents a major shift in the North-West balance of power.

However, Sunday's encounter was as much about Liverpool's current problems as it was a demonstration of the maturing of Solskjaer's side into real Premier League title contenders as they maintained a three-point gap over their hosts.

But plenty of times during the past two excellent seasons, Juergen Klopp's Liverpool side have played against solid and well-organised defences and still managed to open them up. "It's football. These moments happen. You have moments where you can't explain why you score from all angles," he added. As the game wore on, Liverpool's initial intensity dropped noticeably, an indication that perhaps they are feeling the pace of a congested fixture schedule.
