Liverpool doubled their in the 26th minute through top-scorer Mohamed Salah as he beat Mendy at his near post after Trent Alexander-Arnold found him with a spectacular pass on the right.
The game then became an end-to-end affair and Chelsea eventually got back into it.
Caoimhin Kelleher did well to punch away Marcos Alonso’s free-kick but it fell to Matteo Kovacic on the edge of the box and he struck a superb volley which initially hit the post before it found the net in the 42nd minute.
Chelsea drew level on the stroke of half-time through Christian Pulisic.
The USA international side-footed the ball into the top corner after Ngolo Kante found him in space.
Both sides had the opportunity to take the lead on several occasions in the second-half but neither could find the back of the net.
Both sides remain where they were before but the real winners will be Manchester City, who strengthen their stranglehold on the title race. Pep Guardiola’s side sit 10 points clear of Thomas Tuchel’s side.
