Through against Barca
2007 - Jamie Carragher played his 57th game in the European Cup to equal Phil Neal's club record as we lost 1-0 at home to Barcelona, although we still progressed to the Champions League Quarter-finals on the away goals rule. New owners George Gillett Jr. and Tom Hicks attended their first game at Anfield in a cauldron of noise. Both John Arne Riise and Momo Sissoko rattled the woodwork, but Eidur Gudjohnsen put the visitors ahead on the night with a quarter of an hour remaining, although we held on for a famous victory.

Seeing off the Geordies
2002 - After floodlight failure delayed kick-off, we put on a sparkling display to beat Newcastle United 3-0 at Anfield, with a brace from Danny Murphy and a Dietmar Hamann strike. Nicolas Anelka put on probably his best display in a red shirt. Further good news that day came with the announcement that Gérard Houllier was back on Merseyside, as he continued his recuperation from his heart operation.

A new Case
1982 - Jimmy Case made his first appearance back at Anfield after joining Brighton & Hove Albion, as they won 1-0 in the League.

A rare defeat

We have also played Tottenham Hotspur three times on this day, with each game ending in a draw.
1971 - The most recent was an FA Cup Sixth Round tie at Anfield that ended goalless, although we won the replay as we headed towards Wembley. This day set the record for combined attendances on Merseyside as 54,731 were at Anfield for this game, with another 53,028 across the park to witness Everton thump Colchester United 5-0 in another cup tie.
1926 - Our Anfield League meeting also ended without score.
1937 - Jackie Sheldon netted at White Hart Lane in another top-flight meeting.

Previously against United

European draws
We have twice drawn European Third Round first legs on this day over the years.
1985 - Austria Wien were known as Austria Memphis due to a sponsorship deal when we drew 1-1 at their Franz Horr Stadion, on our way to a fifth European Cup Final, with Steve Nicol on the scoresheet late on, to notch our 150th goal in Europe's premier club competition.

David Raven skippered England, with Mark Smyth also playing. Meanwhile, Christian Poulsen featured for Denmark as they lost 1-0 to Norway in an unofficial international in Brøndby.

1977 - He won his eighth cap as Israel beat Japan 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier in Tel-Aviv.
1988 - He appeared alongside future red Ronnie Rosenthal as they lost an Olympics qualifier 2-0 to Australia in Melbourne.

Spiring signs
