Liverpool managed to secure a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground which led them to the semi finals.

“It’s a great draw,” Keane told ITV Sport, as quoted by HITC Sport.

“The Liverpool and Manchester City one is great to look forward to, if they get through today.”

On Liverpool players being aware of the draw ahead of their quarter-final game, Keane said:

“No, that will get down to the players.

“I think they are all big enough and ugly enough to just focus on the game.”
