Manchester United meet Chelsea in The FA Cup quarter final on Monday and it's a tie that has resulted in some classic contests down the years.

The teams drew 2-2 at Old Trafford in their first tie earlier this month, with Chelsea coming back from two goals down to earn a replay at Stamford Bridge in their latest classic Cup encounter.

There have been some belters between the teams from down the years.

And regardless of your allegiance, who can forget United's Cantona-inspired 4-0 victory over the Blues in The Final of '94 at Wembley?

But Chelsea got their revenge in 2007, beating Sir Alex Ferguson's men in the first final at the new Wembley courtesy of a Didier Drogba strike.

There have been plenty of other meetings in The FA Cup too, so watch our video in the Media Gallery above and whet your appetite for Sunday's big clash at Old Trafford.
