Liverpool face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup on Sunday in a game that is something of a throwback.
Indeed, Forest and Liverpool were two of the biggest teams in the country in the 1980s, and now, once again, they meet with a trip to Wembley on the horizon for the victor.
Of course, things have changed since the 80s. Liverpool remain one of the best teams in Europe, but Forest haven’t played a top-flight game for over 20 years at this point.
With all due respect to the East Midlands outfit, they come into this game as massive underdogs, but the same could have been said when they were drawn against Arsenal and Leicester City in this competition.
Jurgen Klopp’s side won’t be able to just turn up and walk over Forest, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Liverpool’s starting XI for this one.
Liverpool come into this one as strong favourites, and we think they’ll take this opportunity to rotate.
There are seven changes from the team that beat Arsenal on Wednesday. Luis Diaz, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk and Jordan Henderson remain, but there are changes elsewhere.
The big headline is that 18-year-old Conor Bradley gets a start as Trent Alexander-Arnold misses out with a hamstring injury.
Roberto Firmino leads the line after netting against Arsenal in midweek, while Luis Diaz gets his first-ever FA Cup start.
