The two sides have met in FA Cup competition nine times in the past, with the current record being Liverpool w/6 wins, Forest w/1 win and 2 draws; at present, Liverpool have won the last four fixtures (1989, 1988, 1980 and 1949)...and yes, their most recent meeting was just mere weeks following the Hillsborough disaster...

(The Guardian) Preamble--Who will complete the final four of the FA Cup? A tie of historic significance, a trip down memory lane will decide it. It’s not since the last century, 1999, that Forest and Liverpool faced each other and by then the rivalry of the late-1970s/early-1980s and a less heated revival at the end of the 1980s was a distant memory, even if Liverpool were in the doldrums themselves by 1999. The modern Forest are in the hunt for promotion, but their cup run has seized the imagination and the agenda for now. The Liverpool of 2022 are meanwhile going for the type of quadruple that even the teams of the 1980s would have thought beyond their ken. Jürgen Klopp seems to have decided the cups are worth going for; that wasn’t always the case. The City Ground awaits, a stadium where a visit does conjure memories of glories past, mostly because the place has barely changed in many years. And to draw this preamble to an end, you will notice that we have not actually mentioned his name until the very end: Brian Clough.

Liverpool have made seven changes. Only Alisson, Virgil Van Dijk, Fabinho and Diogo Jota retain their places from the midweek win at Arsenal. Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are omitted from the squad entirely as Harvey Elliott and Roberto Firmino join Jota up front.
Nottingham Forest have made just the one change from the team that beat QPR 3-1 in midweek. Joe Lolley replaces Scott McKenna for Forest

(The Guardian) The pre-match sound of U2’s Beautiful Day ringing out as the teams come out seems apt for a tie being screened on ITV in the UK, if the wrong competition for The Premiership. It’s followed by Welcome To The Jungle. Stadium DJs never play the latest hip sounds, do they? (Not that I’d know what they are, but the playlist always stops around 2004, with only the Killers, Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, Amy Winehouse’s Valerie and Mark Ronson escaping through. Mull of Kintyre rings out at the City Ground now, as is traditional, even if Silly Love Songs is a superior track.
1 min: And away we go in the FA Cup quarter-final after the players take the knee. Hell of an atmosphere at the City Ground, very loud indeed.

(The Guardian) 2 min: Liverpool win an early corner, taken by Tsimikas and cleared as Jota lurks. The ball comes back out, and Keita chips the ball through Elliott seems set to score but the offside flag goes up.
4 min: A long time since these supporters were singing at each other, and the Liverpool fans are playing their part. An early dart from Johnson, the Forest youngster, and he gets to the right-hand side of the box, his cross going into Alisson’s hands. Him versus Joe Gomez is a contest to watch.

(The Guardian) 5 min: Forest pushing up and in numbers. Steve Cooper hasn’t set his men to defend deep. A cup tie is there to be won, after all.

(The Guardian) 7 min: Jurgen Klopp is already up and issuing instructions, Liverpool yet to find their stride. Oxlade-Chamberlain plays the ball for Firmino to chase but it’s overhit. It was a bit hurried, as if he felt under pressure.
9 min: Hurried clearance by Van Dijk and it needed to be. More Forest pressure as Johnson speeds to the line, Lolley has the goal gaping but chooses to cross. That was a chance to hit the target, one passed up but Liverpool are struggling a little.
