Nottingham Forest and Liverpool will go head-to-head this weekend in the quarter-final of the FA Cup (6pm kick-off). The two sides are in impressive form for both the Championship and Premier League, with both recording wins in midweek.
Forest came from behind to seal a 3-1 home win against promotion-chasing Queens Park Rangers, while Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool claimed all three points over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. The last meeting between the two teams came in the Premier League in April 1999, a 2-2 draw that saw Jamie Redknapp and Michael Owen on the scoresheet for the Reds.
Dougie Freedman equalised for Forest before Pierre van Hooijdonk rescued a late point in the 90th minute. Ahead of this weekend's most awaited for the clash, here is what the Forest faithful had to say...
