Premier League champions Liverpool missed the chance to open up a gap at the top of the table after being held to a goalless draw at Newcastle United on Wednesday.

Liverpool and Everton matches back behind closed doors after change in coronavirus restrictions

Despite holding 73 per cent of the possession, having 11 shots (four on target), and taking 12 corners, Liverpool could not find a way to break the deadlock due to a combination of missed chances and inspired goalkeeping from Karl Darlow.

The draw continues Liverpool's patchy away form this season, with Jurgen Klopp's side winning two and drawing five of their eight fixtures on the road. Compare that to their home form of seven wins and a draw from the same number of games.

The point still sees Liverpool extend their lead in the standings to three points, although second-placed Manchester United have a game in hand.

For Newcastle, the point keeps them in 14th place, one point behind Arsenal.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
How to increase your savings
  • Have a plan for your savings.
  • Decide on your emergency fund target and once that's achieved, assign your savings to another financial goal such as saving for a house or investing for retirement.
  • Decide on a financial goal that is important to you and put your savings to work for you.
  • It's important to have a purpose for your savings as it helps to keep you motivated to continue while also reducing the temptation to spend your savings.

Safety 'top priority' for rival hyperloop company

The chief operating officer of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, Andres de Leon, said his company's hyperloop technology is “ready” and safe.

He said the company prioritised safety throughout its development and, last year, Munich Re, one of the world's largest reinsurance companies, announced it was ready to insure their technology.

“Our levitation, propulsion, and vacuum technology have all been developed [...] over several decades and have been deployed and tested at full scale,” he said in a statement to The National.

“Only once the system has been certified and approved will it move people,” he said.

HyperloopTT has begun designing and engineering processes for its Abu Dhabi projects and hopes to break ground soon. 

With no delivery date yet announced, Mr de Leon said timelines had to be considered carefully, as government approval, permits, and regulations could create necessary delays.
