Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique and the other contenders to replace Graham Potter saw a dominant but barren Blues side have 12 shots, hitting just three on target over 90 minutes at home against Liverpool.
The low-quality goalless draw at Stamford Bridge was another wasted opportunity for Chelsea, who could not finish off Jurgen Klopp’s vulnerable side and are left 11th in the Premier League.
Chelsea have 29 goals after 29 games, the third-lowest total at this stage of a season in the club’s 118-year history.
Joao Felix and Mateo Kovacic both went one-on-one with Alisson early on but took too long to finish, allowing defenders to block their goal-bound shots.
Reece James volleyed into the bottom corner after a corner was cleared, but VAR ruled out his effort for a marginal offside call in the build up.
Havertz had earlier wasted a closerange effort, but bundled the ball into the net midway through the second half, only for VAR to again spot that it had hit his hand before ending up in the back of the net.
