Liverpool vs. Bournemouth: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 27

Draws: 3

Only becoming properly acquainted with Bournemouth in the years following their first-ever promotion to the Premier League, Liverpool have locked horns with the Cherries just 27 times over the years.

However, the Reds have amassed an immense lead in the head-to-head record despite the small number of games, winning 21 times while losing on just three occasions (all away games in December 2016, March 2023 and January 2026) and sharing the spoils thrice.

On the latter date, the Reds had fought back from 2-0 down to seemingly rescue a 2-2 draw, only for Amine Adli to pop up with a last-gasp winner for the Cherries in a 3-2 success, with Iraola in the home dugout at the Vitality.

Prior to that agonising five-goal defeat, Liverpool had conquered Bournemouth in six successive matches across all competitions, including five Premier League wins on the spin.

The two outfits collided on the opening day of the 2025-26 top-flight campaign, where the Reds survived a huge scare to prevail 4-2, although the game was overshadowed by an incident of alleged racism against Antoine Semenyo.

Arne Slot's first taste of Cherries action in September 2024 ended in a convincing 3-0 triumph for the Reds, who subsequently prevailed 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium a few months later thanks to a Mohamed Salah double.

During Jurgen Klopp's final Liverpool season in 2023-24, the German's side made light work of Bournemouth in the Premier League with a 7-1 aggregate success, although they could only eke out a 2-1 win in the EFL Cup last 16.

Klopp's crop had no problems finding the back of the net when Bournemouth visited Anfield in August 2022, though, obliterating Scott Parker's men 9-0 in what remains the joint-biggest Premier League win for any team to date.

Most recently, Andoni Iraola brought his Liverpool team to the south coast in September 2026, returning to face his former club for the very first time and escaping with all three points in a 1-0 win.

The Reds' £125m striker Alexander Isak was the difference-maker that day, firing home from close range after an excellent dribble by Cody Gakpo to score his fourth goal in five Premier League games.

Before Bournemouth earned their Premier League stars in 2015, they exclusively met Liverpool in cup competitions from 1927 to 2014 and took them to two FA Cup replays, but the Reds eventually came out on top in both of them.

Merseyside marksmen also dominate the individual goalscoring charts in this fixture; Salah leads the way with 11 strikes against Bournemouth, who have also conceded five times to Diaz and Roberto Firmino and on four occasions to Darwin Nunez and Sadio Mane.
