Nottingham Forest have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the 13th time in their history, most recently doing so in 1991 when they reached the final (lost to Tottenham).
Nottingham Forest are the first team ever to win three penalty shootouts in a single season in the FA Cup.

Nottingham Forest captain Ryan Yates has been speaking to the BBC about Forest's penalty shootout victory today: "I was a bit nervous to be fair, just so relieved it went in. Matz [Sels] saved two penalties and I just knew I had to capitalise and send us to Wembley.
"It has been an incredible season. We have achieved nothing yet but to send these lot to Wembley again - we know how special it was last time, getting promoted. It will be a special day and I am so pleased for the supporters and overall I think we deserved it."

Sutton's predictions: Brighton v Nottingham Forestpublished at 11:02 29 March
11:02 29 March
Brighton will see this as the chance to get revenge for their 7-0 defeat at the City Ground at the start of February.
I am sure some people felt the wheels had come off for Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler after that result, but instead his side have bounced back and gone on a great run of six wins and one draw.
Sometimes getting thrashed like that can have a positive effect on a team, and clear the air.
I remember losing 7-1 at Blackburn Rovers in October 1992, when I was a centre-half for Norwich City, but we had a crate of beer on the coach home to put things right and we were still top of the Premier League table at Christmas. I did get moved up front after that, though.
As for Nottingham Forest, they are the only team left in the FA Cup where I could understand it if they rested players this weekend because of their league position.
They play Manchester United on Tuesday and the finish line is in sight for my boyhood team to finish third and secure Champions League football.
That is why it is disappointing to hear about Chris Wood getting injured while playing for New Zealand this week.
Hopefully it is not serious, but it is a blow for Forest if they are without their main number nine for any length of time.
Their gameplan will not change without Wood - they will sit deep and attack on the break. It is just a question on whether it is their A team who face Brighton or not, and my hunch is that Nuno Espirito Santo will make a few changes.

Brighton and Nottingham Forest will meet in the FA Cup for the first time when Nuno Espirito Santo's side travel to Amex Stadium for Saturday's quarter-final. Will Brighton still be feeling the scar tissue of February's 7-0 Premier League drubbing, though?
Former Albion and Forest striker Glenn Murray tells The Football News Show how impressed he has been with Brighton's response to that defeat at the City Ground and why this cup tie will allow both teams more freedom to attack...
Does Brighton thrashing make it 'more difficult' for Forest?published at 17:13 28 March

BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray has been looking ahead to Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Brighton on the latest episode of Shut Up And Show More Football: "Nuno has a love for the competition. He's talked about how they were the only English games he could watch growing up. It does hold a special place.
"I saw how relieved he was getting past Exeter. Also last year, getting past Blackpool and Bristol City, he was relieved as it was progress in the cup.
"It's undoubtedly a difficult game for Forest. Brighton are improved lately. It's a huge game for Forest and they haven't come along often in the past 30 years or so."
Forest - who last won the FA Cup in 1959 - thrashed Brighton 7-0 in the Premier League in February and Fray added: "You have to praise Brighton's response to it. They have been brilliant since. For that reason, and because they will be completely fired up looking for revenge, it gives them a huge chance to put things right in front of their fans. In a strange way, it makes it more difficult for Forest."
Johnny Cantor, who covers Brighton for BBC Radio Sussex, joined the Forest podcast and referenced the 7-0 defeat, stating: "It has been the catalyst for Brighton's recent good form. It was a day, evening or 48-hour period when they started to look at themselves and said 'why did that happen?' and 'it can't happen again'.
"Fabian Hurzeler reportedly came in on Monday morning when the players came back in and he got the formation sheet and literally burned it in front of the players to say: 'That didn't work, forget it, we are moving on now.'
"He has learned from that, and the team has. I think it has given them that impetus and catalyst to really kick on and they are unbeaten since.
"They have the appetite back again and have reached the semi-finals twice in the past six seasons. They have got a taste for it. They want to win something. They believe now their squad is probably the strongest it has ever been. And with it being so open this season with a lot of the big boys out, it presents an interesting opportunity."

Wood getting injured 'was worst case scenario'published at 08:40 28 March

Nottingham Forest were dealt a huge blow during the international break after striker Chris Wood limped off during New Zealand's 2026 World Cup qualifier and as a result will miss Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Brighton.
The extent of Wood's hip injury is unknown, but "it is certainly not the news Nuno Espirito Santo would have wanted," said BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray on the Shut Up and Show More Football podcast.
"It was worst case scenario," Fray added.
"Nuno has referenced that he hopes he will be alright for Manchester United on Tuesday night so that is in the - fairly - short term. That means there is some optimism that it is not a really bad injury despite it inducing a lot of pain.
"I guess what they are hoping for is that it was just the impact and once the pain subsides then there is no further damage. But we are all guessing until the results of his scan come through."
Wood's injury rounded-off an eventful international break in which he also scored a hat-trick against Fiji, before being substituted off and getting booked for signing autographs for people in the crowd.
