Liverpool vs Arsenal Timeline & H2H Stats

It would probably be fair to say that the rivalry between Liverpool and Arsenal is reasonably friendly and largely respectful. That is in spite of the fact that it took until the 11th match between the pair for the game to end in a draw. Liverpool won the first four matches against the club that was known as Royal Arsenal and then Woolwich Arsenal, scoring 12 goals against them without reply. In some ways, that has been a notable factor about the games between the two clubs: high scoring encounters. The first ever match saw Liverpool win 5-0, with he a 4-0, a 4-1 and another 5-0, albeit that one to Arsenal, all to come before the First World War.

It isn’t as though it’s just a thing from prior to the Premier League either. The two sides have enjoyed some high-scoring games in the modern era, such as the 5-1 loss that Liverpool inflicted on the Gunners in 2014, or the 4-3 win in 2016. There was a period when Liverpool were something of a bogey side to Arsenal, with Anfield in particular proving to be a tricky place for the London side to go. Between 2015 and 2022, for example, Liverpool won 11 times, managing five draws and suffering just three losses. Of those losses, only one was at Anfield and that was a weakened team in the League Cup, losing on penalties. The power of Anfield is real.

1989

It is all but impossible to talk about Liverpool and Arsenal as rivals without mentioning 1989. If Arsenal struggled against the Reds at Anfield for a time in the modern game, it will still always remain one of the favourite venues of fans of a certain age. Liverpool supporters were still grieving the loss of 97 supporters in the Hillsborough Disaster when Arsenal arrived on Merseyside knowing that they had an all but impossible task on their hands. The two teams had been going head-to-head all season over the First Division title, with the Reds three points ahead going into the final day of the season and with a slightly superior ‘Goals Scored’ column.

If Arsenal won, they would be level on points with Liverpool, but if they won by two goals then they would win the title. The Merseysiders had not lost by two or more goals at Anfield for three years, with the Gunners not having won at Liverpool’s home ground for 15 years. The title was Liverpool’s, the game just had to be played. Alan Smith gave Arsenal a 1-0 lead eight minutes into the second-half, but Liverpool stifled their play and shut the game down, knowing a 1-0 loss still ensured the title. Sadly for the Reds, Michael Thomas scored with just one minute and 18 seconds of play left. The Gunners won the title, whilst Liverpool were left shellshocked.
