What happened
Ryan Gravenberch said Liverpool did not deserve to be booed after Saturday's 1-1 home draw with Chelsea, urging supporters to stay behind the team for the full 90 minutes. Gravenberch scored early, Chelsea equalized through Enzo Fernandez's set-piece delivery, and the mood turned sour at Anfield after another dropped result.
Why it matters
The comments underline the pressure building around Liverpool as the Champions League qualification race tightens. Liverpool sit fourth on 59 points after 36 matches, only one point ahead of Aston Villa, while Chelsea's point ended a six-match losing streak and kept them in ninth.
The data edge

What to watch
Watch Aston Villa's next result, which could immediately shift the top-four picture. Liverpool then head into a high-pressure run-in with little margin for more dropped points.
