Nottingham Forest v Liverpool: FA Cup quarter-final preview

Nottingham Forest v Liverpool
Nottingham Forest v Liverpool: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: z

Liverpool’s quest for the quadruple takes them into the path of another team pursuing something special. Nottingham Forest’s win over QPR in midweek kept them in the hunt for a Championship play-off place and a potential place in the top flight for the first time this millennium. Steve Cooper has transformed Forest and they have already shown their ability to torment top sides in the Cup by thrashing Leicester and beating Arsenal. Liverpool have more squad depth than ever before under Jürgen Klopp but will have to prove that if they are to get past Forest. Paul Doyle
