September was not a pretty month for Liverpool. Defeat at Old Trafford in the first game back after the international break was followed up by unconvincing displays away at Bordeaux, and at home to Norwich City and Carlisle United respectively.

Liverpool travel to Manchester United on Saturday evening, in a fixture that has brought the Reds such joy and agony over the years.
