Swansea City look to bounce back from their last-gasp loss to Leeds United when they take on Nottingham Forest tonight.
Here's the full lowdown on the game at the City Ground.
What time is kick-off?
The match gets underway at 6pm today.
Is it on TV?
No, the match will not be shown live on television.
As a result, the game against Forest will be available to UK and international viewers live on SwansTV.
Alternatively, you can follow live updates on our match blog which will be on our Swansea City page.
What is the latest team news?
Swansea are sweating on the fitness of Freddie Woodman who suffered a hip injury late on in the 1-0 defeat to Leeds.
The Newcastle United loanee has been an ever-present in the Championship for Swansea this term, although Erwin Mulder could make his first start of the campaign should the English goalkeeper be unavailable.
Swansea will continue to assess the fitness of Ben Cabango and Mike van der Hoorn ahead of the clash with Sabri Lamouchi's men.
The Swans will once again be without the injured duo of Ben Wilmot and Joe Rodon.
What has Steve Cooper said?
“The defeat hurt because we deserved more, but it cannot get in the way of our preparation for Nottingham Forest. There is no feeling sorry for ourselves, we have to get ready,” said Cooper.
“We have to beat these sides who are in and around us, and Forest away is about as tough as it gets.
“But if we want to achieve things you have to be successful and win games like this.
“It’s such an important time, but in the end we have to look after ourselves and not wait for others to give us a chance.
“There is a lot we can take into the game on the back of a good performance against Leeds.
“We have to go into every game committed to the plans we have to win and, if we get it right, we will give ourselves every chance.
“We have to believe in what we do and give 100 per cent, and we will do that.”
