Nottingham Forest have honoured the 97 Liverpool fans that were unlawfully killed during the Hillsborough disaster.
Forest and Liverpool go head-to-head in the FA Cup for the first time since that fateful day in 1989, when a crush in the Leppings Lane End of Hillsborough saw 97 spectators die. And in a subsequent inquest 2016, it was determined the supporters were unlawfully killed.
The City Ground is a sell-out for Sunday night’s clash with the exception of the small section, that is covered in a banner which reads ‘97 Never Forgotten’. Liverpool are backed by a travelling contingent of 4,000 supporters for the quarter-final tie, while the home ends are understandably packed out.
