Nottingham Forest praised for 'beautiful' Liverpool gesture ahead of FA Cup clash

Nottingham Forest will leave 97 seats empty at the City Ground when they host Liverpool in the FA Cup this weekend.

The gesture is in tribute to the 97 lives lost as a result of the Hillsborough disaster that took place when the two sides met in the FA Cup semi-finals 33 years ago.

Forest posted on their Instagram: "97 seats will be left vacant at tomorrow's match in honour of those who lost their lives at our FA Cup semi final in 1989. We look forward to welcoming Liverpool FC to The City Ground."
