Twelve months ago, the prospect of an FA Cup meeting with Liverpool would have been a tantalising one for both Huddersfield and Nottingham Forest.
In fact, it would have been the only thing keeping their seasons from petering out. Both sides were marooned in mid-to-lower table mediocrity but never really in danger of going down; Huddersfield survived relegation by six points, Forest a further three clear.
Back to the present day and Monday night's FA Cup fifth round tie gives the winners a home meeting with Jurgen Klopp's side.
