Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
Palace try to force the issue but the ball into Edouard is too hot to handle, and Forest break. However, a great challenge from Doucoure stops the threat at source.

Forest really dropping off their hosts now, Awoniyi is furthest forward and even he is halfway inside his own half.

Hughes does brilliantly to win the ball in midfield, and eventually finds Ayew, but the Ghanaian lashes his effort wide.

Olise is really dictating things now, but on this occasion his chipped ball in is too close to Hennessey.

Another set-piece by Olise, but his corner is too heavy for Edouard at the far post who fouls his man when challenging for possession.

Nearly! Olise rolls the free kick to the edge of the box for Eze, who whips the shot round the onrushing defenders, but just the wrong side of the near post too.
