Gary Lineker has already told Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp what to expect from Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest will face Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals, as their brilliant run in the competition continues.

The Reds have already sent holders Leicester City and also Arsenal crashing out of the Cup.

They memorably thrashed the Foxes 4-1 in the fourth round, after edging past Arsenal 1-0 at the City Ground in the third round.

Steve Cooper's side reached the last eight with a 2-1 victory over Huddersfield Town on home soil on Monday night, setting up a tie with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

They will face Liverpool at the City Ground on Sunday, March 20.

And Gary Lineker has already told Klopp and his players what to expect from Forest, having seen his beloved Leicester dismantled by Cooper's men.

Lineker singled out Forest players Brennan Johnson and Djed Spence for special praise after they beat Leicester, saying: "To be fair, Spence and Johnson have been absolutely brilliant."

"Credit where it’s due. Thoroughly deserved victory. A real FA Cup giantkilling," he added.
