Liverpool will meet Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup quarter-final after Steve Cooper’s side emerged as winners in their FA Cup fifth-round tie on Monday evening.
The Reds qualified for their first quarter-final in the competition under Jurgen Klopp with a 2-1 win over Norwich last week.
The draw for the final eight dictated that Liverpool would meet the winner of the Championship battle between Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield on Monday, with the home side running out 2-1 winners.
Forest, managed by former Liverpool academy coach Cooper, came from behind after going behind early on, leading 2-1 at half-time and then holding on for the win.
The last time the two met

The two teams played out a 2-2 draw at the City Ground with Jamie Redknapp and Michael Owen the goalscorers for the Reds on the day when Gerard Houllier was at the helm.
