The 2-1 quarter-final success over Bournemouth represents one of five wins that the Citizens have picked up in their last six games, prevailing in each of their last three versus Crystal Palace, Everton and most recently Aston Villa, where a last-gasp Matheus Nunes strike saved the day.

Forest won the FA Cup in 1898 and 1959 but the last domestic trophy they lifted was the Zenith Data Systems Cup in 1992.
