Nottingham Forest hero Steve Hodge says tonight's Carabao Cup semifinal is a huge moment for the club.

Forest meet Manchester United in the first-leg tonight at the City Ground.

Hodge twice won the League Cup in his second spell at Forest.

"This club holds the League Cup really close to its heart," Hodge said.

"It has given us some great days out. For people there or around during that era, those days are unforgettable.

"We have been craving this now for 30 years."
