Swansea City face a trip to Nottingham Forest at City Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Swans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 6 of the 29 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2010, the Forest carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Championship match.
