Nottingham Forest's next significant trophy came in 1989 when they beat Luton Town in the League Cup final. For most of the season they had been hopeful of completing a unique domestic treble, but were beaten into third place in the League by champions Arsenal and runners-up Liverpool and lost to Liverpool in the replay of the FA Cup semi-final, originally held at Hillsborough, where 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death on terracing, the match was abandoned after 6 minutes. Clough's side retained the League Cup in 1990 when they beat Oldham Athletic. There was chance for more success in 1991 when Forest reached their only FA Cup final under Brian Clough and went ahead after scoring an early goal (Stuart Pearce free kick) against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, but ended up losing 2-1 in extra time after an own goal by Des Walker.

In Nottingham Forest they face a team that has fallen further than any European team has ever done. No winner of the European Cup had ever sunk to the third tier of domestic action until Forest was relegated at the end of last season. But for Forest fans this season has provided a ray of hope. Former Scottish international and Spurs’ defender Colin Calderwood took over after a spell at Northampton and the indications are that he has stopped the rot and the club his finally heading up once more.

Joe Kinnear was the next manager to take charge of Nottingham Forest. The club's directors looked to have made a good decision when Kinnear revitalised Forest, bringing out the best in key players like Michael Dawson and Andy Reid, and they climbed to a secure 14th place in the final table. Kinnear was hoping to push for promotion from the newly-named Coca-Cola Championship in 2004-05. But the start to the season was poor. Despite a promising draw on opening day (1-1 vs Wigan Athletic) the team's form went downhill, as did the league position. With fans getting restless, and the threat of demonstrations against the team management, Kinnear walked away from the club in December, after a 3-0 defeat by arch-rivals Derby County at Pride Park, with Forest struggling at the foot of the Championship.

Two goals in the first twenty minutes set the stage for an extremely comfortable 3-0 win for Chelsea over Nottingham Forest in the fourth round of the FA Cup three weeks ago. Now, the Stamford Bridge side has been blessed with another home tie, their third this year and all against lower level opposition.
