Follow all the action from Portman Road
Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town 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:
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
Ipswich are yet to have a shot on target yet so that would be an improvement if they are to test Forest's nerve but also getting tighter in midfield could help them win the battle that they are currently losing, Elanga has been electric this game and has really torn Ipswich apart but somehow closing him down and stunting him would be key.

Well for 35 minutes, McKenna was probably content with the performance, but six minutes later his side were three goals down. Milenkovic opened the scoring with a fierce volley, then Elanga scored two more in four minutes to almost put this game out of sight. The Swede's first was a curled effort and his second, Forest's third, punished Ipswich's chaotic defending by latching onto a loose ball from Milenkovic. It seems like an impossible task for Ipswich to overturn this and with Wolves winning, their day has not gone the way they wanted.

Everyone feels a bit shell-shocked in Portman Road apart from one pocket of fans who are cheering Elanga's name and taunting Ipswich with relegation.

If anything sums up Ipswich's last five minutes it is Phillips letting the ball roll under his foot and then only just beating Wood to the ball. If Wood did manage to get that ball, he would have had a great counter opportunity. Ipswich have let their eye off the ball.
