Liverpool looks to keep alive its quadruple hopes by reaching the FA Cup semifinals with a win at second-tier Nottingham Forest. Erling Haaland is likely to make his first Bundesliga start since January for Borussia Dortmund at Cologne. Runaway leader Paris Saint-Germain travels to Monaco in the French league. Fourth-place Juventus faces last-place Salernitana in Serie A.
