Steven Gerrard vs Nicky Butt: Five of the best showdowns

Steven Gerrard's Liverpool U19s take on Nicky Butt's Manchester United counterparts in the UEFA Youth League knockout stages on Wednesday as the old adversaries reignite their rivalry.

The two former England midfielders went head-to-head for a decade on the pitch and are now key coaching figures at the academies from which they once graduated.

A product of the 'Class of 92', Butt made 387 appearances for hometown side Manchester United before joining Newcastle United in 2004, while Gerrard played 710 games for boyhood club Liverpool after making his senior debut in 1998.

Both wore the captain's armband, both won the Champions League and both are just three games away from the UEFA Youth League final in Nyon on April 23.
