Ipswich Town vs Liverpool History

Despite Liverpool being far more successful overall than Ipswich Town, it is in fact the latter which has been around for longer. Ipswich Town was founded back in 1878, some 14 years before the formation of Liverpool FC.

When Ipswich celebrated its maiden First Division title in 1962, Liverpool hadn’t been champions of England for 15 years and they had yet to clinch the FA Cup for the first time. The Merseyside outfit became a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s and early 70s under the management of Bill Shankly, and then under his successor Bob Paisley.

Liverpool took English (and European) football by storm from 1975 until the end of Paisley’s tenure in 1983. The legendary LFC boss guided his team to six First Division triumphs as well as three European Cup titles.

It was also around this time Ipswich Town were challenging towards the top end of the English football pyramid, with Bobby Robson in charge of the first-team. ITFC became first-time FA Cup winners in 1978, defeating Arsenal at Wembley Stadium, and went on to capture the UEFA Cup (precursor to the Europa League) three years later.

In more modern times, Liverpool have of course widened the gulf between these clubs in terms of major trophies. The Reds claimed Premier League honours for the first time in the 2019/20 season, one year after Jürgen Klopp’s side beat Tottenham in the UEFA Champions League final.

Ipswich Town vs Liverpool Head-to-Head

The teams have shared a pitch more than 70 times. Their first meeting took place in the 1954/55 campaign, with both clubs playing in the Second Division at the time.

The two sides met in an FA Cup fixture for the first time in 1974; Kevin Keegan opened the scoring for Liverpool to record a 2-0 win in the Fifth Round. The Reds went on to lift the Cup that year, thanks to a rampant 3-0 victory over Newcastle United in the FA Cup final.

Both Ipswich and Liverpool were founding members of the Premier League ahead of the 1992/93 season. The teams played out a 2-2 draw in this fixture, as Chris Kiwomya scored a late equaliser to rescue a point for the home side.

The 2001/02 campaign was extremely one-sided when it came to this fixture and the reverse. Liverpool thrashed Ipswich 6-0 at Portman Road, with Michael Owen and Emile Heskey scoring twice apiece. Owen was also on the scoresheet in the return fixture which ended 5-0 in favour of Liverpool.

22 years passed until Ipswich Town and Liverpool would next contest a league fixture. The Blues earned back-to-back promotions to rise from League One into the EFL Championship and then the Premier League all in the space of two seasons.
