Steve Cooper says he and his players will 'give it everything they've got' as The Reds prepare for their first League Cup semi final in 31 years.
Forest host Manchester United in the first leg Carabao Cup clash at The City Ground on Wednesday evening, before returning to Old Trafford next week to compete for a place in the final.
Speaking ahead of the fixture, Cooper admitted his full focus is on tomorrow night's tie in particular, and is hoping his players can embrace the occassion with his side set to be backed by another sell-out crowd on Trentside.
"It's a big focus of ours to make it an occassion to relish. We're proud to get to the latter stages of an important competition and the Club has a good history in it, so we've got to do what it takes to do well and do our best to deliver.
"It's going to be a tough couple of games, we're only focused on the first leg at the moment so we have to commit to it and back ourselves otherwise it'll be even more difficult.
"We need to recognise that these games might not come around too often and we've had to work hard to get here. We look forward to it, embrace it and attack it but in our way.
"This Club has a good history in the competition but we want to create more memories for the supporters because it's our first League Cup semi final for a long time.
"We've got to focus on the tie and be ready to give it everything we've got."
