He told the Liverpool Daily Post: "Hopefully our crowd will turn out for us in numbers on Saturday. Whenever we've had a big-game atmosphere at Prenton Park this season we've risen to the occasion and produced a good performance.
"We did against Swansea, Southend and Huddersfield and on a few occasions last season. I believe we can do it again."
Manager Brian Little added: "It is the right sort of game for us. Everyone will have to be up for it. You've got to give Forest credit for their run. They have done ever so well."
