History of the Swansea City v Nottingham Forest fixture

Nottm. Forest face a trip to Swansea City at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Forest will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
