Liverpool vs. Burnley: Head-to-head record and past meetings before Premier League clash

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 130

Burnley wins: 38

Draws: 30

A fixture that dates back to 1894, Liverpool initially struggled against Burnley, drawing the first encounter 3-3, before suffering four successive defeats.

It was not long before Liverpool got their act together though, but not before losing the 1914 FA Cup final to Burnley, in what remains their only triumph in that competition.

Many of the early meetings between the clubs came in regional tournaments during the war, because the outbreak of World War One led to the formation of the Lancashire Section, where Liverpool won four of the eight meetings, scoring 27 goals in the process.

During World War Two, a similar process followed, as they met in the North Region War League, where the Reds were victorious in five of eight meetings, again filling their boots with 24 goals.

Shortly after WW2, Burnley performed more cup heroics over Liverpool though, beating them in the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 1947 in a replay, but sadly, the Clarets lost to Charlton Athletic in the final.

Burnley’s struggles in the final quarter of the 20th century meant the two sides did not face off in the league between 1976 and 2009, when the Clarets finally achieved their first promotion to the Premier League.

Their first season in the division did not end well though, as Burnley were instantly relegated, and suffered 4-0 defeats both home and away to Liverpool in 2009-10.

Liverpool have dominated in the modern era, winning on nine of their last 10 trips to Turf Moor, and winning 15 of the 20 matches between the two clubs in the Premier League.

The Reds' most recent win came in September 2025, when a Mohamed Salah penalty in the 95th minute was enough, but Scott Parker's men held the wasteful champions to a 1-1 draw at Anfield in January 2026.
