Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from American Express Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brighton & Hove Albion face Nottingham Forest today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Hudson-Odoi's heroics off the bench at Anfield are enough to earn him a start here, with Yates dropping to the bench. The only other change to Espirito Santo's starting XI is Elanga coming in for Dominguez. Awoniyi remains on the bench with Wood set to lead the line from the off.

However, Brighton will come up against another of the unbeaten sides here, with Forest heading to the south coast off the back of a stunning 1-0 away triumph at Liverpool last weekend thanks to Callum Hudson-Odoi's winner. The Tricky Trees were touted by many for relegation prior to the season, but a win here would take Nuno Espirito Santo's men into the top four.

It's been yet another magnificent start to the Premier League season for Brighton, who are one of only four teams yet to lose a game in the competition this term. Their opening four games have included a fantastic point away at Arsenal and a 2-1 victory over Manchester United, and head coach Fabian Hurzeler will hope his side can continue their impressive start with another win here.
