National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Nottingham Forest or Liverpool that keep their silverware dream alive.

Nottingham Forest form and stats

Nottingham was eliminated in the 4th round last season in the FA Cup.

The story so far in the Championship for Nottingham Forest at their home stadium is 9 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

The Nottingham Forest club members enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Queens Park Rangers and win 3-1. The forward Johnson outshone all the other players in that fixture and managed a match rating of 7.85 out of 10. Johnson scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 21 successful passes (of 26 total).

Ahead of that match, Nottingham won a home game hosting Reading (4-0).

A decent goal production from Nottingham Forest in their home games so far, with 30 goals from 19 league matches. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest have conceded 21 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Liverpool form and stats

Liverpool was sent out of FA Cup in the 4th round last season.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 10 wins, 3 draws and only 2 losses in the Premier League.

402 minutes! That's how long the Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Ramses Becker and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Liverpool play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Arsenal. Defender Robertson was the best team player with a rating of 8.4. Robertson served one assist, hit two key passes and won 5 of 6 duels.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Brighton & Hove Albion.

As mentioned earlier, Liverpool will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in four wins (two by two or more goals winning margin), one draw and zero surprising defeats.

Liverpool create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 38 goals in 15 travels. It's not easy to score on Liverpool as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.
