Pool/Utd- I forgot about Jimmy Greenhoff and only remembered the white suits. !
Thatās 7
For part 2 of your question- Iām just gonna throw out 4 teams and assume they met many times in early years?
Wanderers
Old Etonians
Oxford
Royal Engineering Society
Wanderers v Oxford University
Wanderers v Royal Engineers
Both these pairings occurred twice
As a further bonus, which was the first current league club to appear in an FA Cup final
Did they meet in a final a few years back or was that league cup ?
They met in a League Cup final in 2017 - United won 3-2 - Zlatan was playing for United
They only played the one FA Cup final in 1976
Saints shoot down Reds on May Day was the headline
Preston or Villa? Iāll say Preston
No
Blackburn? Running out of original football league members fastā¦
Man U/Everton is another for part A
Liverpool v Sunderland?
Liverpool v Leeds?
Yes
Beaten by Old Etonians in the 1882 final
Blackburn Rovers were the first current league team to win the FA Cup in 1884
But they were not the first team from Blackburn to win it as Blackburn Olympic won it in 1883
Blackburn Rovers retained the FA Cup in 1885 and they beat the same team as in 1884 in the final
What team was that
Hint: They are a current league team, but not an English league team
Yes thatās 8 of the 13
No
1992 and 1965 only for each pairing respectively
These are the eight correctly answered so far of the 13
Man U/Arsenal
Man U/Chelsea
Man U/Palace
Liverpool/Everton
Arsenal/Chelsea
Arsenal/Newcastle
Pool/Utd
Man U/Everton
Villa have won the FA cup 7 times they have to be in there somewhere.
I know they havenāt played Chelsea or Arsenal outside of the recent enough defeats before and I know they beat Utd in the 50s in a final. United were rubbish pre 50s though so possibly not them either.
Villa/Utd
Villa/Newcastle as they were prolific enough around that time too
You said Premiership in the question, nether Sunderland or Leeds are in the EPL currently.
1905 and 1924
Premier League or Football League, ie. the 92 league clubs

Trying to thin of the trick here. Welsh club too obvious? Wrexham who now play in Welsh league??
Right result- flawed logic !
