Wii » when the club hosts Stoke City at White

London, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Liverpool will go in search of a rebound performance on Sunday when Brendan Rodgers men face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The Reds have been exceptional this season, leaning heavily on the attacking prowess of Luis Suarez, who leads the Premiership with 19 goals scored, and Daniel Sturridge, who has nine tallies. But the holiday period of fixtures was always sure to test the clubs top four credentials as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Boxing Day. The Reds outplayed City for large portions of Thursdays match and opened the scoring when Philippe Coutinho found the back of the net from a tight angle in the 24th minute. City responded with an equalizer seven minutes later when Vincent Kompany outmuscled Martin Skrtel on a corner kick and nodded the ball down into the bottom right corner, past the outstretched arm of Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet. The winner came for City in first-half stoppage time when Alvaro Negredo slipped through on goal and hit one with the outside of his boot that Mignolet misplayed and it rolled into the net. Despite the loss, Rodgers praised his teams effort as they gave City their toughest test on home soil this season. "I was very proud of the players, I thought they were absolutely outstanding," Rodgers said. "They really took the game to a team that is a top, top side full of top European players. "Were disappointed not to have won the game, never mind losing the game. We showed great confidence and belief, scored a wonderful goal and could have had a few more. We have things to learn from the goals we conceded, which were disappointing. "I am very proud of the team. I was here at the Bayern Munich game when Bayern were outstanding, but apart from that every other team Manchester City have played here - really good sides as well - theyve scored a hatful of goals against. "Everybody walking away from the stadium would feel we at least deserved a point from tonight - and were disappointed we havent won." Chelsea is coming a 1-0 Boxing Day victory over Swansea City as an Eden Hazard goal in the 28th minute was enough to allow the Blues to extend their unbeaten streak in league play to three matches. Jose Mourinhos strike force of Fernando Torres, Demba Ba, Willian and Samuel Etoo have struggled to score consistently, something that is beginning to wear on the Portuguese manager. "They kill me," Mourinho said. "Every game Im tired in the end. "At halftime we all should be relaxed with a comfortable result and we werent and the first thing that happens in the second half was probably the biggest chance of the game. "You dont score, you finish feeling you are going to concede. But the boys, they worked hard defensively and in the last part they looked comfortable in their control of the game." Also in the Premiership on Sunday, Everton will shoot for a bounce-back effort against Southampton at Goodison Park after suffering a shock 1-0 defeat to Sunderland on Thursday, while Newcastle United hopes to build on their best performance of the season -- a 5-1 destruction of nine-man Stoke City -- when they host Arsenal at St. James Park. In Sundays final fixture, Tottenham goes for a second win under manager Tim Sherwood when the club hosts Stoke City at White Hart Lane. On Saturday, West Ham United welcomes West Bromwich Albion to Upton Park following a 3-1 loss to Arsenal, while Aston Villa battles Swansea City at Villa Park.

The Coyotes will try to prevent what is now a franchise-record losing streak at home from getting any longer on Saturday night as they take on the Minnesota Wild. Arizona set a new mark in home futility with Thursdays 5-1 setback to the Nashville Predators. That loss dropped the Coyotes to 0-6-2 in their past eight games at Gila River Arena, a franchise record that includes the clubs time as the original Winnipeg Jets. The Coyotes Antoine Vermette scored the games first goal, but netminder Mike Smith allowed five goals on 38 shots. Arizona has been outscored 19-5 over a season-high four-game slide and is 2-7-2 in its past 11. Its important for us to stick to our game regardless of whats going on and continue to push forward, said Coyotes forward Sam Gagner. Arizona, which has not won at home since Nov. 4, has now lost the first three of a five-game residency that ends on Tuesday versus Edmonton and will look to rebound from a loss that head coach Dave Tippett labeled as both frustrating and disappointing. I think theres a lot of guys in (the dressing room who) care and want to do better, added Tippett. Were not finding the results we want, so the frustration continues to build. But unttil we turn that frustration into mental resolve and getting the job done, more frustration will pile up.dddddddddddd More frustration could be on tap tonight given that the Coyotes have lost three straight to the Wild, including a 2-0 setback in Minnesota on Oct. 23 in the first of three meetings this season. Smith made 27 saves, but the Wild got a 26-save effort from Darcy Kuemper in the shutout. Minnesota also has won its past three in Arizona and will try to bounce back from Thursdays 2-1 setback to the San Jose Sharks. The Wild were hoping to win consecutive games for the first time since a four-game run from Nov. 13-20 but instead have split their last 10 games overall. Kuemper made 28 saves versus the Sharks and defenseman Christian Folin netted his first NHL goal in his 12th career game. But San Jose struck back not long after that tally to keep control. We put ourselves in a winnable hockey game, Wild head coach Mike Yeo said. In the end, we just didnt do quite enough. Wild defenseman Marco Scandella served the first of his two-game suspension for an illegal check to the head on the New York Islanders Brock Nelson in the third period on Tuesday. Minnesota lost defenseman Keith Ballard indefinitely in the same game after he suffered facial fractures and a concussion on a scary hit along the mid-ice boards. ' ' '
