Liverpool vs Chelsea Timeline & H2H Stats

For a long time, Chelsea weren’t really any of Liverpool’s business. The Merseyside club were arguably the best side on the planet for long periods of time during the 1970s and 1980s, whilst the Londoners struggled for any real sort of consistency. The Reds all but owned the League Cup in the ’80s, for example, but the teams that they were beating to lift the trophy were the likes of West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Everton. Although they would defeat Chelsea for their record-extending ninth and tenth League Cups, that didn’t happen until 2022 and 2024 respectively, with Chelsea’s win over Liverpool being in 2005.

Then, in the wake of Roman Abramovich’s purchase of the Blues, Chelsea became the successful team at a time when Liverpool’s very existence was under threat thanks to dreadful ownership. For Liverpool supporters, Chelsea became a representation of everything that was wrong with the game, inflating the cost of players by paying billions in order to build a team capable of winning every trophy going rather than earning their success. The dislike was mutual, with Chelsea fans seeing Liverpool as the old-guard, desperate to cling on to its power in the game at a time when the new boys were now leading the way.

Playing in Big Games

Chelsea and Liverpool have rarely been successful at the same time as one another. When the Reds won the First Division for the first time, for example, Chelsea didn’t even exist. As the Merseyside club raced ahead of the rest of the English game, winning 18 top-flight titles, Chelsea weren’t their challengers for any of them. Even so, the two teams have been involved in some big games over the years. In spite of Liverpool’s success, winning their second title the year after the Blues were formed, the first game between the two sides was actually a win for Chelsea at Anfield, demolishing them 4-1 on Christmas Day 1907.

It took until 1932 for them to meet in the FA Cup for the first time, with Chelsea winning 2-0. The next FA Cup matchup was in 1962, this time seeing Liverpool gain some revenge with a 4-3 win. Yet it was in the age of Abramovich that the big games seemed to come thick and fast. José Mourinho was the manager when the Londoners defeated Liverpool in the League Cup final, only for the Reds to win over two legs in the Champions League in the year that they won it for the fifth time. That kick-started a period of ten Champions League ties between the sides across five years, with Liverpool winning just two of them and drawing five.
