Liverpool vs Southampton Head-to-Head
The first time these clubs shared a pitch was in February 1902, in the Second Round of the FA Cup. They would clash exclusively in this competition for a number of years, including a quarter-final tie in 1925 which saw the Saints run out 1-0 winners at The Dell.
The first league fixture between the clubs would only take place in 1960, and their maiden top-flight meeting occurred six years later. Liverpool came out on top when they faced Southampton in the 1986 FA Cup semi-finals; Ian Rush scored both goals in a 2-0 win for the Reds at White Hart Lane.
Both Liverpool & Southampton were founding members of the Premier League in 1992, with this particular fixture ending 1-1. It was a lot more one-sided when the teams reconvened at Anfield in January 1999, as Robbie Fowler registered a hat-trick in a 7-1 thrashing of the Saints.
More recently, in February 2020, LFC were 4-0 victors in this fixture thanks to two goals from Mohamed Salah and one apiece for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain & Jordan Henderson. The same result ensued the following season, this time Diogo Jota notching two goals with Virgil van Dijk also on the scoresheet versus his former team.
Jürgen Klopp fielded a youthful team when his Liverpool side took on Southampton in the FA Cup in February 2024. Substitute Jayden Danns netted twice in a 3-0 victory for the Reds.
