History of the Swansea City v Nottingham Forest fixture

Swansea City prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Swans are clearly on top, winning 58.33% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Liberty Stadium was just last season, in September 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League One match.
