Liverpool deemed 'imperious' ahead of big Nottingham Forest clash

Nottingham Forest know they have their work cut out this Sunday evening when they take on Liverpool in the sixth round of the FA Cup.

Steve Cooper will be catching up with Liverpool's impressive victory over Arsenal, this morning.

It was a win that cranked up the pressure in the Premier league title race, and sees Jurgen Klopp's men in good form.

Cooper's Reds are proving no slouches, they put in an impressive display against QPR for another three points, and a push towards their own promotion aspirations.

They will look in with interest at 5pm on Sunday to see what team Klopp decides to put out, not that there is a bad Liverpool side.

Here's what the national media had to say about the huge win over Arsenal as the Premier League title race gathers pace.

"Whether or not Liverpool win the Premier League title this was the performance of champions. Few teams would have withstood a fierce onslaught from a buoyant Arsenal but Liverpool did just that and then took them apart in a devastating seven-minute spell. It was brutal. It was emphatic. It was impressive. It is what champions do.

"There is a preternatural calmness to them that was summed up by another imperious display from Virgil Van Dijk at the heart of the defence with Jordan Henderson providing a similar level of self-possession in midfield. It allowed Liverpool to walk through a storm in north London."

"It’s as you were, and yet a show of how you seize a moment. Liverpool keep winning, this 2-0 victory making it nine in a row in the Premier League, to also keep the initiative in this title race. Arsenal again fail to beat one of the elite sides. There’s no harm in that given the quality of the opposition, and it doesn’t do much damage to their top-four chances,
