Manchester United and Manchester City will meet in the semi-finals of the FA Cup for only the second time next month.
The sides last met at this stage in 1926, when City won 3-0 at Bramall Lane before losing to Bolton in the final, with the Blues also being relegated in the same season.Here, we recall the previous six FA Cup encounters between the sides.
February 14, 2004 - Old Trafford
Man United 4-2 Man City
The Manchester rivals last met in the fifth round seven years ago when a Ruud van Nistelrooy double helped them to victory. Paul Scholes put United in front in the 34th minute but they were reduced to 10 men five minutes later when Gary Neville was sent off.
Two goals in three minutes - one from Van Nistelrooy and the other from Cristiano Ronaldo - put United well in control before Michael Tarnat pulled one back for City.
Van Nistelrooy's second came with 10 minutes left and Robbie Fowler added another consolation for Kevin Keegan's team. United went on to win the cup, beating Millwall 3-0 in the final in Cardiff.
February 18, 1996 - Old Trafford
