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

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 118 Wolves wins: 37 Draws: 18 Liverpool wins: 63

A fixture that dates back to the 19th century – beginning with an 1894 Division One encounter that Wolverhampton Wanderers won 3–1 – Liverpool and the Old Gold have now crossed paths 118 times in competitive football, with the Reds holding a clear advantage in the overall head-to-head.

Liverpool have claimed 64 victories across those meetings, while Wolves have recorded a respectable 37 wins of their own, with a further 18 contests ending all square.

In more recent memory, however, the Merseyside giants have largely had the upper hand, having won each of their last five clashes with Wolves and 13 of the last 15 across all competitions, including two 2–1 Premier League successes during the 2024–25 campaign.

In the first meeting, Ibrahima Konate put Liverpool in front shortly before the break, with Mohamed Salah restoring their advantage just after the hour mark following Rayan Ait Nouri’s equaliser.

First-half goals from Luis Diaz and Salah then proved sufficient in the return fixture, with Matheus Cunha’s 67th-minute strike serving as little more than a consolation for the Old Gold.

That double made it 16 Liverpool victories in the last 17 Premier League meetings between the sides, the lone exception being Wolves’ 3–0 triumph at Molineux in February 2023 under Julen Lopetegui, which snapped an 11-game losing run against the Reds in the competition and remains their only success in 15 meetings across all tournaments.

During Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign in 2023–24, Liverpool produced one of their trademark comebacks to secure a 3–1 win at Molineux, before the German closed the curtain on his reign with a 2–0 victory at Anfield on the final weekend of the season.

Wolves were also eliminated from the FA Cup by Liverpool earlier that campaign, although they have enjoyed cup success against the Reds before, notably knocking them out of the 2016–17 and 2018–19 editions, including a memorable 2–1 win at Anfield in the former.

In Premier League terms, Wolves’ 18 defeats to Liverpool are more than they have suffered against any other opponent, while the Reds have kept clean sheets in 13 of the 22 top-flight meetings between the sides.

Liverpool legend Roger Hunt remains the highest recorded scorer in this fixture with nine goals, while Mohamed Salah sits second on the list with seven.
