Nottingham Forest XI vs Swansea City – Predicted lineup and team news
Nottingham Forest travel to South Wales for a crucial Carabao Cup tie against Swansea City on Wednesday.
The match is the first real opportunity for new manager Ange Postecoglou to secure a victory and begin implementing his ideas. This fixture is more than just a cup game; it is a chance to reset and build confidence after a difficult and disruptive start to the season.
Postecoglou’s appointment followed the sudden dismissal of his predecessor, Nuno Espírito Santo. Despite a mixed start to the season, Nuno was fired after a reported disagreement with the club’s owner.
The Australian’s subsequent debut ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat at Arsenal. Therefore, a positive result and a strong performance against Swansea are vital to lift spirits at the City Ground.

Ange Postecoglou will be unable to call upon Nicolas Dominguez (knee) and Ola Aina (hamstring) for the trip to Swansea. In addition, key defender Murillo is a major doubt after he was forced off with an injury in the first half of the defeat against Arsenal.
Postecoglou is expected to take this opportunity to rotate his squad and assess his options. As a result, players like Douglas Luiz, Dilane Bakwa, and Arnaud Kalimuendo are all pushing for starts, eager to impress their new manager.
