Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has issued a subtle warning to Liverpool after their FA Cup clash was confirmed.
The Reds will take on Forest in the quarter-final of the FA Cup later this month, after the Championship outfit progressed on Monday night.
Forest claimed a 2-1 win over fellow Championship club Huddersfield Town, to set up a quarter-final clash against Liverpool at the City Ground on Sunday, March 20.

While much talk around Liverpool is about winning an unprecedented quadruple, at Forest the main objective is arguably being promoted to the Premier League.
And Cooper insists that his Forest team will “attack” the match against Liverpool when it comes around, he is more focused on the league encounter against Reading this weekend.
“I’m only focused on Reading now. That’s the only thing on my mind,” Cooper told Nottinghamshire Live.
“We’ll be ready for it when it comes around. We’ll be ready to attack the game and enjoy it. But let’s look at Reading first.
“Every game we go into, we want to play with an identity. If we really want the mentality, the culture and the environment we want here, you can’t just turn it on and off. It’s got to be an everyday behaviour.
“The boys will enjoy themselves in the dressing room, but I’ve said to them, when they leave they have to have only one thing on their mind - and that’s Saturday’s game.”
