FA Cup Preview : Top 5 Man Utd vs Liverpool Matches

Rooney vs Torres

Here are five classic FA Cup ties between Manchester United and Liverpool.
1. Manchester United 2 Liverpool 1, May 21, 1977. United surprised Liverpool in the Wembley FA Cup final and prevented them from completing a treble which the Manchester club would famously achieve for the first time 22 years later. The game sprung to life just after the break as Stuart Pearson finished well and celebrated with a clenched fist. Jimmy Case equalised two minutes later with a fine turn and finish only for a third goal in five minutes from Jimmy Greenhoff to win the match in front of just under 100,000 fans with a scuffed effort.

2. Manchester United 2 Liverpool 2, April 13, 1985. Goodison Park played host to a cracking semi-final with Liverpool yet again the favourites ahead of the encounter. Bryan Robson put United in front, only for Ronnie Whelan to equalise with minutes remaining with one of the finest goals scored in this fixture. In extra time Frank Stapleton scored with a low bender only for substitute Paul Walsh to equalise on 120 minutes from on the line to complete a cracking game. Manchester United would go on to win the replay 2-1.

3. Manchester United 1 Liverpool 0, May 11, 1996. Sir Alex Fergusons side completed their second double in three seasons as Eric Cantona made his comeback from a Kung Fu kick and lengthy suspension with a fine volleyed winner. Liverpool meanwhile turned up in white suits that have gone down in FA Cup folklore and failed to make an impact on a dour game, coming a cropper to Eric the King.

4. Manchester United 2 Liverpool 1, January 24, 1999. One of the finest ever FA Cup ties and undoubtedly a precursor to what would happen in the Nou Camp against Bayern Munich later on in the season. Michael Owen headed Liverpool ahead and Roy Evans side looked like winning the match until two minutes to go especially after Roy Keane had hit the post. Dwight Yorke tapped in the equaliser from an Andy Cole header and then seconds late Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would win it outright.

5. Liverpool 1 Manchester United 0, February 18, 2006.
