Swansea City face the test of another automatic promotion contender in the form of Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this afternoon.
Cooper’s men are on a serious run of form to give them a real chance of second place but will come against a Swans team unbeaten in nine games and off the back of four consecutive draws.
This is not the Steve Cooper of old so expect goals today… Team news as follows:

Forest boss Steve Cooper
“Togetherness can only be a good thing, it’s something you should never take for granted and has to be be authentic. Our aim is to continue to build on that and the stronger relationship we can have with the supporters the better.
“We don’t want to stand still with that, we’ve got to continue to play well and work hard and continue to be as together as we can.
“This league throws up tough tests each and every week and Swansea will be no different.”
Swans head coach Russell Martin
“I thought we were really good in the first game against them. We should have scored early and we didnโt; I think weโll have learned a lot from that.
โSo Iโm really looking forward to it. Itโs a game for the guys to be really excited about.
โThe squad want to pick up as many points as possible and try to squeeze into the top half which weโre really close to.”
