The stage is set for a big night at the City Ground on Wednesday night as Nottingham Forest host Manchester United in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.
Head coach Steve Cooper has overseen many memorable moments on the banks of the Trent. And the Reds will be hoping for another one under the lights as they try to gain an edge going into next week’s return leg at Old Trafford, with a trip to Wembley up for grabs.
It is a long time since Forest have reached this stage of the competition - a trophy they have lifted four times. Cooper reminded his player’s of the club’s past glories in the tournament before each of the last two rounds, and the class of 2022/23 know they now have a chance to write their names in the history books.
