If Nottingham can pull out a win and combine it with a Bournemouth defeat, they will move up to second place, remembering that they will meet on Tuesday in a key clash for second place in the standings.

Meanwhile, Swansea City will have a lot to improve for next season as they are in 14th place, although they have gone nine games without defeat, which has been of little use when they no longer had anything to fight for promotion.

Nottingham Forest is coming from three wins in a row, the last of them 1-0 at home to Fulham who are the overall leaders, so morale is sky high and they are depending on themselves to be able to go straight up to the Premier League.

Nottingham hold out hope of going up when they take on Swansea City and their run of goalscoring draws. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.
