Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton has named his team to face Swansea City at the City Ground this afternoon.

Anthony Knockaert returns to the team in place of Joe Lolley who drops to the bench.

Elsewhere, Miguel Angel Guerrero replaces Harry Arter who is also on the bench.

Alex Mighten is also back in the matchday squad.

Forest are looking to claim a third successive win on home soil but enter this game on the back of two defeats on the trot against Barnsley and Bournemouth.

Hughton knows he has a job on his hands to revive Forest’s fortunes and will hope for a morale-boosting three points this afternoon.

Swansea can go third with a win this afternoon and they will be buoyed by teams around them dropping points yesterday.

Forest conceded an early goal in the game against the Cherries on Tuesday night and they’ll be hoping to right a few wrongs today.

Following today’s team selection being announced supporters have taken to Twitter to react.

Plenty aren’t overly confident about the game with many feeling Ryan Yates and Jack Colback aren’t capable of playing in midfield together.

Here is what some supporters were saying after the team was revealed on social media.
