'Fragile flower' - Jurgen Klopp fires Liverpool warning ahead of Nottingham Forest clash

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-0 in the Premier League on Wednesday night before their trip to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

The Reds recorded a ninth consecutive league win, closing the gap on leaders Manchester City to a single point. Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino scored the goals in the second-half to see off the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium - taking full advantage of their goalless draw to Crystal Palace 48 hours earlier.

Forest also responded with a 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers the same night, before their preparations to face the Premier League opposition begin. But ahead of the FA Cup quarter final tie on Sunday, the Liverpool boss is cautious about putting too much faith in momentum and knows it can be lost in an instant.

"Momentum is the most fragile flower on the planet," Klopp said. "If someone walks on it, then you have to work to get the momentum back and just get through it.

"A rhythm is good but a rhythm is playing every four days, three days, it is a rhythm but it is an intense one, we are not complaining, we want to be in all competitions. It is fine but the opponents are all quality and they are really different.

"We constantly travel, we go here, we go there. I don’t complain, we don’t complain, it is just how it is. You wake up in a different hotel and someone tells you where the restaurant is and you try and remember the number of your room."
