(Reuters) - Liverpool survived a late spell of Everton pressure to stretch their record unbeaten run in Merseyside derbies to 17 games with a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park that consolidated their hold on third place in the Premier League on Saturday. Karius, who faces constant speculation that Liverpool will replace him in the summer, said he did not feel under pressure to keep his place. "I was just happy to keep a clean sheet and get my fingertips to the shot (from Bolasie)." Everton manager Sam Allardyce defended his decision to take off Rooney, which he said was down to the need for "fresh legs" in midfield. Tottenham Hotspur can displace Liverpool in third place if they beat Stoke City by five goals or more later on Saturday.
