Liverpoolvs.Man City

The Norwegian scored a brace in Tuesday's 3-3 draw with Feyenoord, setting a new Champions League record in the process, to take his goal tally for the campaign to 17 in 18 games across all competitions.

Haaland is currently the top scorer in the Premier League this term with 12 goals in as many matches, but he has not been so prolific in front of goal against Man City's next opponents Liverpool.

Ahead of this weekend's encounter on Merseyside, Sports Mole takes a closer look at Haaland's record against Liverpool.

Erling Haaland's record vs. Liverpool

Played: 7

Won: 1

Drawn: 2

Lost: 4

Goals: 3

Assists: 0

Erling Haaland has faced Liverpool competitively a total of seven times in all competitions, including his first two meetings during his spell at Red Bull Salzburg in the 2019-20 Champions League.

The Norwegian's first goal scored against Liverpool was an equaliser netted just four minutes after coming off the substitutes' bench in a 4-3 group-stage defeat at Anfield, before he drew a blank in front of goal in the reverse fixture held in Austria (a 2-0 loss).

Haaland then joined Borussia Dortmund before moving on to Manchester City in the summer of 2022, and he has since largely struggled to make his mark in the final third against Liverpool.

Indeed, the striker's only triumph against the Reds to date came in the EFL Cup fourth round in December 2022 when he scored the opener in a 3-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium.

Man City's No.9 failed to score against Liverpool on his competitive debut for the club in the 2022-23 Community Shield; Pep Guardiola's side lost 3-1 at the King Power Stadium where Haaland missed a late sitter.

Haaland is yet to win a Premier League game against Liverpool (D2 L1), but Man City were victorious in April 2023 when the striker was ruled out with a groin injury as Guardiola's men beat Jurgen Klopp's side 4-1 on home soil.

In his two visits to Anfield as a Man City player, Haaland has drawn one and lost one, and did not score in either, but he did find the net in a 1-1 home draw with the Reds in November 2023.
