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

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 192

Newcastle wins: 51

Draws: 45

The inaugural meeting between Newcastle United and Liverpool proved to be a precursor for the future, as the Reds ran out 5-1 winners in that Division Two clash in 1893 and have prevailed in 96 of the 192 clashes between the two sides.

Liverpool's 96th and most recent victory in this Northern scrap was a 4-1 success at Anfield in January 2026, which actually proved to be their first league win of that calendar year.

A few months prior, the Reds' 3-2 triumph went down in history for the transfer-related drama surrounding the clash, as well as the Premier League debut winner scored by 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha in the 100th minute.

In contrast, the Magpies have come up trumps on 51 occasions, although one of those represented their most momentous success of the 21st century so far, a 2-1 win in the 2024-25 EFL Cup final as they ended an excruciating 70-year drought without a major trophy.

Another 45 other battles have ended all square, including an engrossing 3-3 Premier League stalemate in December 2024, as Fabian Schar levelled for Eddie Howe's team in the dying embers.

Before that six-goal spectacular, Liverpool had triumphed in six straight matches against their Northern counterparts, including a 2-1 away triumph and 4-2 home win during Jurgen Klopp's farewell season in the 2023-24 campaign.

The Reds also did the double over Newcastle in the 2022-23 and 2021-22 campaigns, winning both matches at St James' Park without conceding, but the Magpies did manage to take a point off Liverpool at Anfield in the COVID-19 era of April 2021.

On that day, Joe Willock saved Newcastle's bacon with a 95th-minute equaliser at Anfield - that 1-1 draw was the third of seven successive Premier League games that the on-loan Arsenal midfielder scored in that season - and the Magpies also held out for a goalless stalemate at St James' Park in December 2020.

However, the 2024-25 EFL Cup winners have not managed to come up trumps in any of their last 18 Premier League home matches against Liverpool since a 2-0 victory in December 2015, when a Martin Skrtel own goal and late strike from future Reds man Georginio Wijnaldum did the damage.

Newcastle have to go even further back to November 1995 for their last win at Anfield - a 1-0 EFL Cup success - and their most recent Premier League triumph on Liverpool's turf came under Kevin Keegan in April 1994.

Among the documented individual scorers in this fixture, Michael Owen is by far and away the most prolific; the former Newcastle and Liverpool striker netted 14 goals in matches between his two old clubs.
