Roberto Earnshaw admits that he is expecting stick from the Liberty faithful tomorrow

Earnshaw comes face to face with the Swans for the first time in his professional career tomorrow when Nottingham Forest arrive at the Liberty.

And his Cardiff City roots suggest that he will take some stick from the Swans crowd during the game but that is something he is expecting and reading what he has had to say it is also something that he is relishing ahead of the game.

A Wales international, many of the East Stand will not let him forget where he forged a name for himself and there can be the usual insults expected to be traded his way during the course of the 90 minutes

And the player told BBC Sport "If I don't get a lot of stick I will be shocked

"I've never played a club game at Swansea but I'm looking forward to it - I'm ready for any stick.

"It'll be a bit strange because the fans that are against me at Swansea on Saturday, will be with me on Wednesday!

"I want to perform well to give myself the best chance of success for both club and country."
