January 1998. FA Cup third round. Chelsea 3 Manchester United 5. A real goal-fest at Stamford Bridge. Two goals from Beckham inside the opening half hour had United in control.

May 2007. FA Cup final. Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0. The first FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium was not a classic with defences dominating on a hot afternoon.

April 2013. FA Cup quarter-final. Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0. Chelsea prevented United winning the cup in Sir Alex Ferguson's last season in charge. United had been two up at Old Trafford through early goals from Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney, but Chelsea hit back to force a replay thanks to efforts from Eden Hazard and Ramires.

March 2017. FA Cup quarter-final. Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0. The red card after only 35 minutes of Ander Herrera left United with the proverbial mountain to climb.

May 2018. FA Cup final. Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0. A tense final at Wembley was decided by Hazard, pictured lifting the cup, who scored with a 22-minute penalty.
