Live text and data provided by The Press Association.Swansea will be without Neil Taylor for their play-off semi-final second leg unless his appeal against a red card in the first game is succesful.
Fabio Borini is expected to be fit despite limping off on Thursday, while Craig Beattie may be on the bench after recovering from a stomach bug.
Forest are hopeful that Robbie Findley (thigh) and Guy Moussi (calf) will be passed fit.
Both were forced to sit out the opening leg after failing fitness tests.
Many will regard Swansea as favourites to reach Wembley after they held out for a goalless draw in Thursday's first leg despite playing almost all of the game a man down following Neil Taylor's sending-off.
First-leg highlights - Nottingham Forest 0-0 Swansea (UK only)But Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies insisted playing against 10 men made it tougher for his side, who struggled to create chances because of their opponents' resolute defending.
Beaten by Blackpool at this stage last year, Forest are having their fourth crack at the play-offs and have never reached a final. Davies is hoping to avoid the distinction of suffering back-to-back play-off failures with two different clubs. He missed out as Preston boss in 2005 and 2006.
Having taken Derby up in 2007, Davies is also hoping to follow in the legendary Brian Clough's footsteps by leading both East Midlands rivals into the top flight. Meanwhile, Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers, who described his team's first-leg display as "brilliant", is hoping to engineer City's return to the top flight after a 28-year absence.

Forest are three goals away from the club's 100th against City.Swansea have kept clean sheets in their last three matches, and four of their last five.They have conceded a mere 42 Championship goals this season - a feat bettered only by champions Queens Park Rangers.City are aiming to become the sixth club to reach the Premier League via the play-offs after finishing the season one place below the automatic promotion places. Forest have won one, drawn two and lost four of their seven previous play-off matches. They are aiming to become the sixth club to reach the Premier League via the play-offs after finishing the season in sixth place.
