Aston Villa FC vs Liverpool FC — head-to-head

All-time storyline

Aston Villa and Liverpool have met once, with Villa holding a 1-0-0 record. Their lone encounter, played on 15 May 2026, ended 4–2 in Villa’s favour, marking Villa’s only competitive win over Liverpool to date. The result capped a season in which Villa secured a mid-table finish while Liverpool finished outside the top four, a rare reversal of the usual hierarchy between the two clubs. This single fixture stands as Villa’s solitary competitive victory against Liverpool, contrasting sharply with Liverpool’s dominance in most league meetings since the 1980s. The 4–2 scoreline remains the highest scoring outcome in all matches played between the sides, a notable outlier in what has otherwise been a lopsided rivalry. Today the fixture serves as a reminder of Villa’s occasional ability to upset established powers, though Liverpool’s far greater historical success in the competition makes this result an anomaly rather than a trend.
