The EFL Championship continues this weekend and will see Nottingham Forest host Swansea City at the City Ground on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest are in good form at the moment and are now pushing for automatic promotion to the Premier League. They beat league leaders Fulham 1-0 in their last game, with Philip Zinckernagel scoring the sole goal of the game to guarantee playoff football for the Reds.
The home side sit third in the league standings with 76 points from 43 games. They are three points behind Bournemouth in second-place and will be looking to leapfrog them at the end of the season.
Swansea City played out a 3-3 draw against Bournemouth last time out, squandering a three-goal lead in a tense clash at the Swansea.com Stadium earlier this week. The Swans bottled a three-goal lead against Reading less than two weeks ago and will be disappointed to have suffered the same fate against the Cherries.
The Swans have picked up 61 points this season and sit 14th in the league. They will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend as they push for a top-half league finish.
