Any difference or Any differences?

0Which one is correct? 02br
02br
00Here is the situation, I want to ask a question, I want to know what is the difference between Item A and Item B. But I don't know how many differences are there. So should I use "Any difference?" or "Any differences?" Or in a more formal way: 02br
02br
00"Is there any difference?" or "Is there any differences?"02br
00or02br
00"Is there any differences?" or should it be "Are there any differences"? 02br
02br
00Please help. 02br
00Thanks in advance.02br
