Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies says striker Rob Earnshaw and defender Kelvin Wilson are doubts with hamstring and calf problems respectively.David McGoldrick, who has had a shoulder injury, could be among the substitutes after playing 45 minutes for the reserves in midweek.
Swansea City are still without Craig Beattie (calf), Gorka Pintado (shoulder) and Ferrie Bodde (knee).
Tom Butler and Angel Rangel are both sidelined with thigh injuries.
MATCH PREVIEW
Swansea City are sixth in the table and in good form, while Forest have become the division's draw specialists - with five of their last six matches finishing all-square, and all three of their home games ending 1-1 - but recent form and history still point to a home win on Saturday.
The Reds are excellent at the City Ground, where they have not lost in more than a year, while Swansea have lost all three of their away league games this season. Their four victories have been at the Liberty Stadium, where they have a 100% record.
And Swansea tend to struggle to score against Forest, whose matches this season have yielded only 12 goals - fewer than any other Championship team's games. City lost 1-0 to them twice last season, and have failed to score in five of the last seven league meetings between these clubs.
Swansea have won three games in a row. But, including last season, they have lost seven consecutive away matches. That does not bode well for them as they face a team that is unbeaten in 22 home fixtures.
