Jurgen Klopp sent key message ahead of Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool FA Cup clash

Liverpool fans have taken to social media ahead of their team's FA Cup quarter-final tie with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. It will be the first time in 22 years that the old foes will have faced each other.

The last meeting, in the Premier League in April 1999, saw the Reds of Nottingham and Anfield draw 2-2 at the City Ground. Goalscorers that day were Dougie Freedman and Pierre van Hooijdonk for Forest, and Michael Owen and Jamie Redknapp for the visitors. Their last FA Cup clash was in May 1989 - almost 33 years ago when the great Brian Clough was still Forest manager.

The two sides had a great rivalry in the late 1970s and early 80s when Clough's Reds were in their pomp, so Sunday promises to be an intriguing affair with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool and Steve Cooper's Forest on top form in the Premier League and Championship respectively. With that in mind, here is what Liverpool fans are saying about the big match...

UnkleTemi: "You look at this Liverpool squad and see how they're gradually taking care of business. The beauty of having a squad to call upon, no matter the circumstances they find themselves, is just a huge bonus. Next is a QF FA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest."

Omari_Astrodrop: "A great win against an in-form Arsenal, now we move on to an in-form Nottingham Forest in the cup."

SM: "On to a huge game against Forest. Let’s focus on getting into the last 4 of the FA Cup."

Anfield Effect: "Looking forward to the Nottingham Forest game. They’re bang in form too, losing 1 in their last 14, so should be a good watch. Former LFC coach & Academy Manager Steve Cooper doing a solid job there."

LFCZA: "Forest are going to be no pushovers. Former LFC youth coach Steve Cooper doing wonders with them."

M Abbas Khattak: "Soo we are gonna rest everyone against Nottingham Forest aren't we?"
