Liverpool have a reputation for camping in the opponent's half, and corners are one of the cleaner ways to test that. This file covers 798 Premier League matches from 2005/06–2025/26 and asks one question: how often do Liverpool win the corner count, and where does that habit hold or slip?
The headline answer is 67.0%. They lose the count only 24.8% of the time, with 8.1% finishing level. They averaged 6.67 corners for and 3.88 against, so the edge comes from the share of corners rather than the total. Liverpool games produced 10.55 corners a match against 10.72 in the league's other 7,182 matches. Read this before checking today's corner tips, because it gives the long-run baseline that any single fixture should be weighed against.
Exhibit AHome games and weaker opponents tilt the count furthest
This chart breaks the corner race into more, level or fewer, across venue and opponent strength. The home split is the one I look at first: Liverpool won the count in 76.9% of home games against 57.1% away. Away from home the level outcome also grows to 10.3%, so lines that refund on a tie matter more on the road.
Opponent tier matters just as much. Against sides finishing 11th or lower, across 420 games, the rate was 72.9%. Against eventual top-four teams it fell to 51.4% from 142 games, which is barely better than a coin flip once you remember the level outcome.
Opponent tiers use each opponent's final league position that season.

|---|---|---|---|
| All games (798) | 67.0% | 8.1% | 24.8% |
| Home (399) | 76.9% | 6.0% | 17.0% |
| Away (399) | 57.1% | 10.3% | 32.6% |
| vs Top 4 (142) | 51.4% | 7.7% | 40.8% |

| vs 11th or lower (420) | 72.9% | 8.6% | 18.6% |
My takeaway is that the overall figure hides two very different products. Liverpool at home to a lower-half side is the spot where their corner dominance has been most consistent. Liverpool away at a title rival is a much more open question, and I'd want a price that reflects that.
Exhibit BCorner dominance held in almost every season
The season line shows how steady this has been. The best year was 2006/07 at 78.9%, and 2021/22 matched that figure. Most seasons cluster close to the long-run average, with only a handful drifting far from it.
The clear exception is 2014/15, when Liverpool won the count only 36.8% of the time and the opponent line reached 50. The season before, at 47.4, had already shown the slide. Single seasons are about 38 games, so a few points of movement is ordinary noise. A dip that deep looks like a genuine change in how the side played.
About 38 games per season, so single-season rates move by several points by chance.

| 2024/25 | 71.1% | 21.1% |
| 2025/26 | 55.3% | 39.5% |
The latest season deserves attention. In 2025/26 the rate was 55.3%, with the opponent winning the count 39.5% of the time, which is the weakest figure since that 2014/15 dip. The sample is still small and ranges are wide, but I would not lean on the all-time 67.0% blindly while the current figure sits this much lower.
Exhibit CThe scoreline barely changes who wins corners
This is the chart I find most useful. A common assumption is that a losing side chases the game and racks up corners, while a winning side sits back. For Liverpool, the split is almost flat. They won the count in 67.2% of their 454 wins, 67.5% of draws, and 66.0% of their 153 defeats.
That tells me Liverpool's corner count comes from style and territory, not game state. Even when results go against them they are still pinning teams back, and the opponent wins the count in only 24.2% of those defeats.

| Liverpool more | Level | Opponent more | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match won (454) | 67.2% | 7.5% | 25.3% |
| Match drawn (191) | 67.5% | 8.4% | 24.1% |
| Match lost (153) | 66.0% | 9.8% | 24.2% |
For a bettor, this means you don't need a strong view on the match result to form a view on the corner race. A defeat or a draw does not usually flip the corner count.
Exhibit DEach extra corner on the handicap costs real coverage
The handicap ladder shows how quickly coverage falls as the line grows. Winning the count, the −0.5 line, landed 67.0% of the time. The −1.5 line covered 59.3% of games, a fair price of 1.69. The −2.5 line sits close to even at 51.0%, a fair 1.96.
Further out, −3.5 came in 42.0% of the time (fair 2.38) and −4.5 34.6% (fair 2.89). These fair odds come straight from historical frequency with no margin. I didn't have real corner prices to test against, so they are benchmarks, not proof that any line has paid. Squads and coaches also change, so older seasons describe a different Liverpool.
−0.5 = wins the corner count; −2.5 = wins it by 3 or more.

| Share of 798 league games covering each minus line | |
|---|---|
| −0.5 corners | 67.0% |
| −1.5 corners | 59.3% |
| −2.5 corners | 51.0% |
| −3.5 corners | 42.0% |
| −4.5 corners | 34.6% |
I treat these as a floor. If a major bookmaker offers less than the fair figure on a line, the history alone doesn't justify it. If the price is above it, I check the home or away and opponent splits before deciding the gap is real.
Dossier verdict
Case closed- Favour home, weaker opponents
Liverpool won the count in 76.9% of home games and 72.9% against sides finishing 11th or lower. That is where the minus lines have the strongest historical backing.
- Respect top-four opposition
Against eventual top-four sides the rate fell to 51.4% over 142 games. Shorter handicaps or passing on the market makes more sense there.
- Weight the recent season
The 2025/26 rate of 55.3% sits well below the long-run 67.0%. Before taking prices built on the old norm, check whether the current side has recovered.

I'm Marta Vance, and I dig into corner markets, where width, low blocks, set-piece coaches and even the referee all quietly stack up before a ball is kicked.
