Liverpool vs Southampton Timeline & H2H Stats

Unfortunately for Southampton supporters, the club has simply not been successful enough to mean that they have enjoyed all that many important games against a side like Liverpool. Southampton have never won the top-flight league, for example, whilst the Reds won it 18 times before the Premier League was even invented. That being said, the 1983-1984 First Division win for Liverpool came at Southampton’s expense, with Saints finishing second and just three points behind Joe Fagan’s men. That being said, that was truly the exception that proved the rule, with the South coast club dropping down to fifth the following season.

The fact that Liverpool have been so much more successful than the Saints doesn’t mean that they haven’t been able to give the Merseyside club a bloody nose from time to time. In the August of 1960, for example, Bill Shankly’s men lost 4-1 down on the South coast, whilst two losses in three years were some of the only blots in Liverpool’s copy book during the 1980s. Liverpool may well have won the title in the 2013-2014 season, missing out by two points, with a 1-0 loss at home to Southampton being one of the points that supporters looked at as a moment of genuine regret that could’ve turned the title in their favour.

Meeting in the Cups

Nowadays, the Football Association has scrapped FA Cup replays. That wasn’t always the case, however, and because of them, to some extent at least, the first seven encounters that Liverpool shared with Southampton were in the famous old competition. The first was on the eighth of February 1902, with Saints running out 4-1 victors in the home encounter. The met again four years later when Liverpool won 3-0. There was then a gap of nearly 20 years before a 0-0 draw resulted in a replay, which the Reds won, then another FA Cup tie came a year on with Southampton winning that and knocking Liverpool out.

Remarkably, there were another two FA Cup encounters to be had before the pair faced one another in the league. The first game was a dour 0-0, with Liverpool winning the replay on the 13th of January, 1926. There was then a break of more than 30 years before the clubs met again, this time in the Second Division with that aforementioned 4-1 win for the Saints. After the two league encounters of that season, Liverpool and Southampton met again in a cup competition, this time the League Cup. Saints won that 2-1, proving that they might not have been as successful as the Reds but that they could land a bloody nose from time to time.
