Liverpool vs Burnley History

Burnley FC was one of 12 founding clubs which took part in the inaugural season of the Football League, back in 1888/89. Liverpool FC, meanwhile, was formed just a few years later and initially played in the Second Division before reaching the First Division in 1894.

The first-ever meeting between these teams ended in a 3-3 draw at Turf Moor, before Burnley cruised to a 3-0 win in the reverse fixture at Anfield.

In 1914 Burnley beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final, 1-0. This was the Clarets' maiden trophy, and their only FA Cup success to date. They later met in the semi-finals of the same competition in 1947, as Burnley once again emerged victorious but didn't go on to capture the title on this occasion.

Only in 1963, at the fourth time of asking, did Liverpool defeat Burnley in the FA Cup for the first time. It was around this time the Reds began their ascension to the summit of English football. Bill Shankly guided Liverpool to three First Division titles as well as two FA Cups before his assistant Bob Paisley was tasked with succeeding the great Scotsman.

Paisley took the club to new heights in the 70s and early 80s, with a further six league crowns in addition to multiple European honours, before he retired in 1983. Liverpool have mostly struggled to replicate the glory of the Paisley era, though Jürgen Klopp has undoubtedly come the closest to returning the Reds to the top of English football as well as Europe.

The German coach was appointed in October 2015 and subsequently oversaw the team improve on all fronts, culminating in UEFA Champions League success in 2019 and a maiden Premier League title the following year. In January 2024, Klopp announced he would step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

These players have represented both Liverpool and Burnley:

• Danny Ings moved directly from Turf Moor to Anfield in 2015, having played 130 times for Burnley. The forward remained on Merseyside for three years though his spell was blighted by injuries, limiting the forward to just 25 appearances in Liverpool colours.
• Peter Crouch joined Liverpool in 2005 and went on to score 42 goals in 135 appearances for the Reds. The 6ft7 striker earned more than 40 caps for England and later spent the second half of the 2018/19 season at Burnley, but he made just six outings for the Clarets before hanging up his boots at the end of that campaign.

The 2018/19 season saw the Reds beat Burnley, 4-2, as Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino notched two goals apiece.

In January 2021, Ashley Barnes scored the only goal of the game as the Clarets picked up their first win at Anfield since 1974.
