Liverpool are being held to a goalless draw by Hearts at half-time in tonight's Europa League qualifier first leg at Tynecastle.
The hosts were gifted an early chance when Jamie Carragher's weak backpass was nearly intercepted by John Sutton, but Pepe Reina was quick off his line to clear.
Liverpool had their first opportunity soon after as Charlie Adam's long-range effort was saved.
Following chances for Sutton and Raheem Sterling, Fabio Borini could have given the visitors the lead, but the Italian failed to connect with Jordan Henderson's cross.
Hearts were appealing for a penalty towards the end of the half as Carragher looked to have handled. However, the referee waved away the appeals.
