Head coach Steve Cooper names an unchanged Nottingham Forest starting line-up for this afternoon’s crunch clash with Swansea City.
The Reds go into the match already guaranteed at least a play-offs spot. But with three games to go, pipping Bournemouth to second place remains within their grasp.
After Tuesday night’s 1-0 victory at leaders Fulham, Cooper’s side are third in the table, three points below the Cherries. And there is still that meeting between the two teams on the south coast to come next week.

Forest are not without their injuries, though. Earlier this week, Lewis Grabban was ruled out for the rest of the campaign with a hamstring problem, while fellow striker Keinan Davis (hamstring) and full-back Max Lowe (groin) are also sidelined.
Jack Colback (glute), Philip Zinckernagel (kick to the ankle) and Sam Surridge (groin) had all picked up knocks at Craven Cottage and been listed as doubts to face the Swans. However, all three have got the green light for the last home fixture of the regular season.
Steve Cook had made his first start since returning from an ankle injury when he took his place in the XI in the capital. And he was integral to a monumental defensive performance.
Cooper sticks with the back three of Cook, Joe Worrall and Scott McKenna at the City Ground, ahead of goalkeeper Brice Samba. Colback is cleared to start at left wing-back, with Djed Spence on the right.
Ryan Yates and James Garner keep their places in midfield. And ahead of them, Zinckernagel will support Brennan Johnson and Surridge.
There is a place on the bench for Under-18s forward Dale Taylor, who takes the spot of Xande Silva. Making up the list of substitutes are Ethan Horvath, Tobias Figueiredo, Richie Laryea, Alex Mighten, Cafu and Joe Lolley.
Forest: Samba; Worrall, Cook, McKenna; Spence, Yates, Garner, Colback; Zinckernagel; Johnson, Surridge. Subs: Horvath, Laryea, Mighten, Cafu, Taylor, Lolley, Figueiredo.
