Ten weekend football questions: in pictures How will a traumatic week affect Liverpool? Football will feel like a welcome distraction to the horrors uncovered by the publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel's report. Liverpool travel to Sunderland (who are curiously yet to play a home game this season) after a start to the campaign which has suggested they are unlucky, then fantastic, then dreadful. Defensive howlers cost them in a game they deserved to win against Manchester City, but they were turned over fair and square against Arsenal. Already their season hangs in the balance. A positive result on Wearside will set them on the right track. Motivation should not be necessary.
