Liverpool's faint hopes of Champions League qualification were all but ended by their failure to win at Chelsea.
The Reds produced a spirited display against a Blues side lacking any real cutting edge without striker Diego Costa, but could not find a winner.
John Terry's early header put Chelsea into the lead, but Steven Gerrard equalised when he nodded in at the far post on the stroke of half-time.
Liverpool had the better chances to win and Philippe Coutinho twice went close.
