There have been a lot of twists and turns in this season's FA Cup fixtures, with the minnows putting up brave performances against some of the Premier League's big guns, causing massive upsets in the Third Round fixtures.

One such fixture that can face the same fate is the Liverpool vs Barnsley head to head match. This will be only the second time that the two teams are playing each other on a competitive stage.

Liverpool are winless in their last three games, picking up draws against the likes of Arsenal, Fulham, and Leeds United. The Reds' last win came against Wolverhampton Wanderers on matchday 17 of the Premier League, which has already rung bells on the probable sacking of one of the best managers in the world currently, Arne Slot.

The Dutchman will look to bag a win against this third division side to avoid going out with a worse probable record. Barnsley, on the other hand, have won just one out of their last five games and currently sits 17th in the EFL League One.

Despite a poor run of form, their only source of motivation will be their last win in the same competition against this very team, which happened almost 18 years ago. The FA Cup this year has seen a lot of strange results, and Barnsley would surely like to add their name to that list. We bring you the Liverpool vs Barnsley head to head records, so that you can figure out how the two teams have contested against each other over the years.
