Liverpool vs Man City: Complete head-to-head record

Liverpool’s meetings with Manchester City have tended to throw up some absolute classics over the years.

While this particular battle was generally a more one-sided affair before the arrival of Abu Dhabi money in Manchester, recent iterations of the fixture have been blockbuster, must-see spectacles.

As the two sides have battled for title after title in the Premier League under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, clashes between the Reds and the Cityzens have thrown up some incredble storylines.

Memorable games

Back when Liverpool victories in this fixture were much more certain, the Reds enjoyed a particularly fruitful afternoon against Man City during the 1995/96 season.

Alan Ball’s side travelled to Anfield knowing they were unlikely to overcome the Reds, but falling two goals behind within five minutes set them on their way to a mauling on Merseyside.

Goals from Ian Rush and a deflected effort from Jamie Redknapp put Liverpool in cruise control despite them not being able to add to their lead before half-time.

However, four goals in 17 second-half minutes left Man City reeling, Rush adding to his earlier goal alongside a Robbie Fowler brace and a Neil Ruddock header.

There have been countless classics between these two teams in recent years, but the Liverpool-Man City rivalry was truly ignited during the 2013/14 season.

With Brendan Rodgers’ Reds fighting for a surprise Premier League title, a visit from third-placed Man City with five games to play could have proved pivotal in the race for the top.

Early goals from future Man City star Raheem Sterling and defender Martin Skrtel gave Liverpool a two-goal cushion at the break, but David Silva and a Glen Johnson own goal pegged the hosts back.

However, up stepped Philippe Coutinho with 78 minutes played, the diminutive Brazilian firing an exquisite effort beyond Joe Hart to lift the roof off Anfield.

Unfortunately for the Reds, Steven Gerrard’s slip and an infamous evening at Crystal Palace would derail their title charge, with Man City muscling their way to a second Premier League crown.

Guardiola’s largest win over Klopp came when Liverpool travelled to the Etihad at the start of the 2017/18 season. Despite the Reds’ resurgence under the German, they were no match for Man City.
