FOOTBALL turned back the clock to 1978 at the City Ground as Nottingham Forest and Liverpool revived a rivalry that only those of a certain age can remember.

It ended with Forest second in the table, with only Arne Slot’s side above them. So, should we be taking them more seriously in the title race?
