Forest, meanwhile, are entering the competition due to their qualification for European qualification thanks to a seventh-place finish in the top-flight last term.
They have Ange Postecoglou in the dugout after the Australian was appointed during the recent international break.
Team news
The Swans will once again be without Marko Stamenic, Jay Fulton and Ricardo Santos through injury.
New signing Adam Idah could be handed a full debut, while Manuel Benson and Ishe Samuels-Smith will hope to make their bows for the Swans.
Pre-match views
Alan Sheehan: “It’s a massive test, we understand the nature of the test wea re coming up against, but we want to challenge ourselves and see where we are at.
"It’s a cup game, we have had to come through two games to get here and we want to make the most of the hard work we have put in and try and make it three wins from three in the competition.
“We are playing an excellent team who qualified for Europe and are managed by a top class manager.
“I’ve seen his teams play from when he was at Spurs, they won a trophy there and were exceptional in their first season in the league.
“He is a manager that has been there and done it, a good test for me to come up against someone with that level of experience.”
Ange Postecoglou: “All games are important, but in the context of the club’s ambitions and in terms of where we are in the season; with me coming in it’s a great opportunity for us to implement some of the things we want to over the next period.
“We’ve had two training sessions with the group which have been really good. I mentioned after the game on Saturday that it was a very unusual week for the players – they were flying in from all over the world and we only had one session together so everything was a bit rushed.
“The last two days have been good in trying to get the players understanding the routines we’ll have going into games in terms of training sessions, meetings and the preparation we’ll be doing.”

Remember the last time?
Matt Grimes and Liam Cullen scored a brace apiece as Swansea City marched through to the FA Cup fifth round with a thumping victory over Nottingham Forest the last time the Reds visited SA1 in knockout competition.
Ollie Cooper was also on target with his first senior goal helping the home side book their place in round five of the competition for the third time in four years.
Cullen opened the scoring with a neat volley after just seven minutes, while a 25-yard thunderbolt from Grimes doubled the lead on the half-hour mark.
Although Anthony Knockaert pulled one back for the visitors after the break, the skipper grabbed his second from the penalty spot before Cullen completed his double with another brilliant first-time finish from close range.
And substitute Cooper put the icing on the cake when he drilled home six minutes from time.
