Team news | Swansea City v Nottingham Forest

Swansea City head coach Steve Cooper makes five changes from the FA Cup defeat to Manchester City for this evening’s Championship clash with Nottingham Forest.

Ryan Bennett, Kyle Naughton, Jake Bidwell, Conor Hourihane and Andre Ayew all return to the starting line-up, while Ben Cabango, Joel Latibeaudiere, Ryan Manning, Yan Dhanda and Jordan Morris all drop to the bench.

Freddie Woodman continues in goal, with Bennett and Naughton joining Marc Guehi in the Swans defence.

Bidwell and Connor Roberts are the wing-backs, with Hourihane lining up with captain Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton in midfield.

Ayew and Jamal Lowe are paired together in attack.
