LIVERPOOL manager Brendan Rodgers was unable to get one over his former side Swansea City on his return to Wales yesterday as the Anfield side continued its mediocre English Premier League start with a 0-0 draw at the Liberty Stadium.
Liverpool, anchored in mid-table with just three league wins from 13 games, created the better openings in a lively encounter.
Teenage winger Raheem Sterling rattled the crossbar with a rasping volley on 33 minutes and 60 seconds later the visitors had a goal disallowed when Luis Enrique, who slid in to turn home Luis Suarez's cross, was denied by the offside flag.
Swansea, which appointed Dane Michael Laudrup to succeed Rodgers after he left in June, moved up to eighth on 17 points.
Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez makes his first start as interim Chelsea boss when the Londoners, who axed Roberto Di Matteo on Wednesday - hours after their Champions League defeat by Juventus - host unbeaten Manchester City later yesterday.
City can regain top spot with a victory after Manchester United moved two points clear with a 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Newcastle United coach Alan Pardew returns to his former club Southampton for the first time and Tottenham Hotspur takes on West Ham United in a London derby at White Hart Lane.
Referee Mark Clattenburg will be the fourth official at Tottenham, in his first engagement since he was cleared by the Football Association over allegations he racially abused Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel.
On Saturday, United scored three times in eight minutes to beat bottom side QPR leaving its new manager Harry Redknapp in no doubt about the size of the task he faces to save it from relegation.
United has 30 points from its 13 matches, followed by City (28), West Bromwich Albion (26) and Chelsea (24).
WBA, this season's surprise package, moved two points clear of Chelsea with a 4-2 victory at Sunderland to record its fourth successive league win.
Fifth-placed Everton was minutes away from beating Norwich City but had to settle for a 1-1 draw after a late Sebastian Bassong header cancelled out Steven Naismith's early opener.
