Manchester City fell to a shock defeat away to Newcastle United on Tuesday, yet Liverpool failed to take full advantage as they could only manage a draw against Leicester City on Wednesday evening.
Sadio Mane put the Reds 1-0 ahead early on and they were well-placed to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to seven points.
Harry Maguire levelled for the Foxesthough as he converted a Ben Chilwellcross.
There was to be no more goals, despite Leicester having their fair share of chances, and Alisson was forced to play the part of hero again as he denied Roberto Firmino the humiliation of scoring an own goal.
Liverpool now sit on 61 points from their 24 games, with City on 56 in second place.
