Follow live coverage as Leicester City 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:
Leicester City vs Nottingham Forest
Forest prevail in Leicester to win 3-1 away from home and bounce to fifth with a carnival atmosphere. The Trees grabbed this East Midlands clash by the scruff of the neck in the 16th minute to take the lead with Yates' emphatic low drive from outside the box as Buonanotte failed to dribble clear. Leicester took just seven minutes to react, and they responded with a superbly worked goal as Winks linked up well with Ndidi and Mavididi, before crossing low for Vardy to finish past Sels. In the second half, Forest instantly asserted themselves. The hosts were dispossessed after indecision from Winks and Fatawu before Anderson found Wood in the centre of the area to pivot and shoot into the bottom-right with Hermansen all ends up. The Kiwi was at it again 13 minutes later, as he latched onto a troublesome long ball for Faes and nodded over Leicester's keeper to signal party time in the away corner. As said, Forest move fifth before this weekend's action properly kicks off, while Leicester sit down in 14th. Today's hosts worked around a meagre xG of 0.60. On the contrary, Forest's dominance shone through as they exceeded their xG of 1.77. Thank you for joining us tonight, goodbye!

While they've been ruthless in front of goal, their defending tonight has been top-notch. Still only Liverpool (three) have conceded fewer goals in the Premier League season than Forest. The Trees (seven) have now played a game more.

On the road to nowhere... Tonight, Leicester City have attempted 514 passes in this game. That's their highest total in a single match in the Premier League this season.

Yates! He pings one off the right post with a header! Alas, the offside flag is up, yet that free-kick delivery from Sosa on the right was pin-point.
