Reds rev up for battle of the titans

MANCHESTER UNITED manager Alex Ferguson and his Liverpool counterpart Rafael Benitez are relishing the chance to clash again after being drawn together in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The clash of the north-west giants is the tie of the round and although United may hold the upper hand after their last-minute victory over the Anfield side just over a week ago, Ferguson is taking nothing for granted.

“It’s a great tie for everyone. It’s a hard draw, but the FA Cup is all about difficult ties and dramatic games. And you can only really appreciate what winning is all about in the cup competitions by getting through the tougher matches,” he said.
