Liverpool could have their season ruined by OCTOBER: Battles with Arsenal and Manchester City in the space of a week and three Champions League games will stretch hit-and-miss Reds with their injury list bound to expand with NINE games

Things are not going quite right for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool at the start of the new season. The pulsating, high-energy, heavy metal roar that has deafened defences over the past few seasons has been turned down to little more than a murmur at times this campaign.

For a side that came within a point of winning the Premier League on two occasions in the last five years, the stuttering start they have made is well below expectations, and leaves their prospects balancing precariously on a knife-edge.

Where Manchester City have gone from strength to strength, Liverpool are now one bad result away from facing a 10-point deficit on their biggest rivals, a gap that would surely prove insurmountable and therefore put an end to any title charge with more than 30 games still to play.
