The Draw for the FA Cup 4th and 5th round took place last night as teams learned their fate for the next rounds. The most interesting and mouth watering clash is the face off arch nemesis Manchester United vs Liverpool at Old Trafford just a week after their clash at Anfield on this Sunday.
With United set to play their game in hand tonight, a draw or a win will take United to the top of the Premier League table dethroning the Champions Liverpool before perhaps a season defining matchup on Sunday.
The two most successful English Clubs share a combined 19 FA Cup honours between them(Man United 12, Liverpool 7) as well as 39 League Titles (Man United 20, Liverpool 19). Elsewhere the other Big Boys got much easier matchups compared to them.
