Simon Mignolet believes a League Cup win could be the catalyst for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool - the way it was for Jose Mourinhos Chelsea 11 years ago. The Anfield side face Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday looking for their first trophy in four years - their last coming in the same competition against Cardiff.For Klopp, victory would see him deliver silverware less than five months after he was appointed as Brendan Rodgers replacement. Mignolet feels that could have the same impact at Liverpool as Mourinhos League Cup success in 2005 did at Stamford Bridge.Back then, Chelsea defeated Liverpool 3-2 to give the Portuguese manager his first trophy in England and the club have won 11 more major honours since. Mignolet feels Liverpool could achieve more success under Klopp the way Chelsea did during Jose Mourinhos spells Mignolet thinks winning this weekend could be significant in the long run and said: Not only for the manager but for the club, for the fans, for everybody.I remember for Chelsea a few years back, it was the League Cup they won and after that they managed to win a lot of trophies.It gives everybody a confidence boost when you win your first trophy for a long time. Mignolet talks about Liverpools route to the final For this young group of lads, I think it could be something that pushes us on to be even hungrier for trophies.Lets hope we can do that. It will be very difficult but we will try our best and hopefully we can get the trophy and get the first win.Liverpool have needed two penalty shoot-outs to get this far, seeing off Carlisle then Stoke in the semi-finals to confirm their date with City. Liverpools biggest win on their way to Wembley came when they beat Southampton 6-1 at St Marys But goalkeeper Mignolet has not done any additional preparation in anticipation of another dramatic finish against Manuel Pellegrinis team.He told Sky Sports News HQ: In every game there can be a penalty taken and you always prepare in the same way. Its not just if theres going to be a shoot-out.You analyse the teams and we obviously get a lot of information here from the analysts and the coaching staff which will help. Mignolet was a key player as he saved two penalties in the semi-final shoot-out win over Stoke You know what you have to do. You pick your spot but it comes down to the quality of the striker. If they hit a good penalty, it will always be very difficult to save.Liverpool won 4-1 at City in the Premier League in November - but Mignolet maintains that result has no bearing on how the final will pan out.He added: We were very good on the day, we scored some great goals at great moments as well and we didnt give much away.With the quality we have in the team, thats very possible every week but every game is totally different. Klopp is looking to win his first trophy at Anfield less than five months after he arrived at the club Manchester City know what we can do and they will be setting up in a different manner to when that game was played. We know it will be a totally different match at Wembley.We have to look at ourselves and our own performance. We have to make sure we dont get flustered by the occasion, we turn up and give the performance we want to on the day.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Lynx were backed into a corner after a Game 1 loss on their home floor to the star-studded Los Angeles Sparks.No time to panic for this battle-tested group. The defending champions know just how to respond.Maya Moore had 21 points and 12 rebounds to help the Lynx even the WNBA Finals at one game apiece with a 79-60 victory in Game 2 on Tuesday night.This team bounces back well. We cant stay down for too long, Moore said. And Im a part of that. I wanted to bring that energy and thats what I took on myself personally today.Sylvia Fowles had 13 points and 15 boards and Minnesota held Los Angeles to 32.9 percent shooting to bounce back from a last-second loss in Game 1. Seimone Augustus scored 14 points and Minnesota dominated on the glass, 46-32, to pull away.We played like this game was more important to them than it was to us and thats unfortunate, Sparks coach Brian Agler said. You dont get these opportunities often, so you have to play like you might not get this game back.Nneka Ogwumike had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Sparks, who head back home for the next two games in the best-of-five series. Candace Parker was quiet with six points on 3-for-12 shooting and the Sparks missed 17 of 20 3-pointers.The Lynx are trying to become the first back-to-back champions in the league since the Sparks repeated in 2002. A win in this series would also give Minnesota its fourth championship, which would tie the Lynx with the Houston Comets for most in league history.Last year the Lynx lost Game 1 at Target Center to the Indiana Fever, but rebounded to win that series in five games. But they know they face an even more capable challenger this year.We know what we needed to do, Augustus said. We watched the entire footage from Game 1 and saw where we made mistakes.Neither team led by more than five points during an air-tight Game 1 that Los Angeles won at the buzzer on a jumper from Alana Beard. The first 16 minutes of Game 2 were just as competitive, but Moore and the Lynx seized control in the final four minutes of the second quarter.After going scoreless in the firstt half of Game 1, Moore got rolling during a 17-3 blitz to close the period.dddddddddddd She hit two 3s and a layup, then picked Parkers pocket and heaved a three-quarter length outlet to a streaking Lindsay Whalen for a three-point play and a 37-25 lead.Moore had 12 points in the first half and the Lynx took much better care of the ball after coughing it up 11 times in the first half of Game 1.The Sparks made things interesting with a 14-0 run in the third quarter that made the score 44-41, but Augustus and Moore took over in the fourth to turn back the charge.I think it had a lot to do with our effort, Ogwumike said. Not to say that we dont want it. But you get tired and muddled and youre not focusing on what youre doing, a lot of times confusion can seep in. And I think thats what happened.MVP DISAPPEARS: Ogwumike, the league MVP, scored just two points in the final period, and took just six shots in the entire game. Its a hard job. (Our post players) made it look easy, but its not, Moore said. Shes such an explosive player.REBOUNDING ADVANTAGE: The Lynx parlayed their edge on the glass into a 17-7 advantage in second-chance points. They shot a pedestrian 45 percent from the field, but had 13 offensive rebounds to create more opportunities. When the ball went up on the glass and a shot was taken on either end, they outworked us, Agler said.QUOTABLE: Now I know how Shaq felt in the NBA, -- Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the physical play on Fowles in the paint.RECORD RATING: The WNBA instituted a new playoff format this year that seeded teams based on record, not geography. It resulted in the two best teams during the regular season meeting in the finals despite both playing in the Western Conference. Game 1 drew an average audience of 597,000, the most-watched Game 1 ever on ABC, the network announced on Tuesday. It peaked with 693,000 viewers and was the most-watched Game 1 since 1998 broadcast across ABC, ESPN and ESPN2.UP NEXT: Game 3 is Friday in Los Angeles.
