Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Crystal Palace 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:

OFF THE BAR! Oh wow! From the following free-kick for Palace, Hughes lays it off to Eze, whose fierce effort from range is brilliantly tipped onto the bar from Selz. The following corner is taken short, Eze tries his luck again and it's deflected for another corner...

Oooooh big call there from Robinson. Yates goes down under a trip from Kamada. It was probably just outside the penalty area anyway.

Still no goals here in this one and it's getting to the point now where you wonder if either manager will start looking to the bench to try and open this one up.

Chris Wood has scored six of Nottingham Forest’s last nine Premier League goals, and has 19 goals for them overall in the division. He is looking to become the third player to score 20-plus for the Tricky Trees in the competition, after Bryan Roy (24) and Stan Collymore (22).

More good work from Palace! Nketiah dummies his way past Murillo and pulls back for Hughes, whose edge-of-the-box effort is blocked. Some encouragement for the visitors now, though.

CLOSE FOR EZE! He drills a brilliant effort on the volley that Henderson does well to save. From the follow-up Kamada flicks a lazy knee at it that Henderson also keeps out. Fortunately for the Palace man the flag was raised for offside because he ought to have scored.

Boy oh boy...Munoz has a great chance to deliver from the right after finding space but it's a...well it's an awful delivery and it comes to nothing for Palace.

First Dominguez overhits a cross from the left for Forest before Elanga gets in on the right and tries to find a team-mate with a low ball, a couple of decent moments for the hosts but they fail to take advantage.

Forest have come out a little quicker at the start of this second half with Elanga and Hudson-Odoi both trying to take the game to the Palace defence.
