Chelsea had only conceded four goals in the league coming into the fixture while Liverpool had only scored four.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But the Blues &#8211; who made five changes from the team that beat St Polten 6-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday &#8211; were limited by Liverpool, not having a shot on target after their opening goal in the ninth minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Forward Catarina Macario had an excellent opportunity just before half-time when Johanna Rytting Kaneryd&#8217;s shot deflected into her path, but she missed the goal from about six yards out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Last season the Blues only dropped points in the league on three occasions.
