Prediction: 2-1
Swansea
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fulham, Nottingham Forest will look to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive when they take on Swansea City on Matchday 45. The Reds are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Swans. Steven Cooper has no fresh injury worries, and he is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the league leaders at the weekend.
The Swans, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last four league fixtures. The Welsh outfit have little to play for in the season finale, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on Forest this time out. Dutch forward Joel Piroe is pushing for a start after scoring a brace in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Bournemouth.
Highlighted Player (Jack Colback):
After spending nine years at Sunderland youth academy, Jack Colback signed a loan deal with Ipswich Town on 6 August, 2009. The left-footed midfielder, who is capable of playing at left back as well, made 37 appearances for the Championship side, scoring four goals in the English second tier.
Against all odds, Colback decided to sign for Sunderland’s bitterest rivals Newcastle United on 9 June, 2014 and it has to be noted he became the first player to move directly from Sunderland to Newcastle since 1998 when Lionel Perez did the same. In 2015 Sunderland fans created a sick banner depicting Colback hanging with a noose around his neck and that caused uproar on social media.
Colback and his teammates from Newcastle dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 season, but he decided not to leave the club. Colback scored 5 goals in 64 appearances for Newcastle United in the Premier League. He is well known for his passing skills, he rarely gives the ball away and journalist often compare him with Italy ace Andrea Pirlo.
