Follow all the action from The City Ground
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:

Referee Robinso blows his whistle once more and we are back underway at the City Ground!
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
Forest have an xG of 1.15 to Palace's 0.57, which probably tells the story of the fact Wood has two really good chances for the home side. It has felt a pretty tight encounter, though, and it is all to play for in the second half.

So, it's goalless here at the City Ground between Forest and Palace as we reach half-time. The game started at a very good pace and both teams have hit the woodwork. Wood has also missed a couple of excellent opportunities, including one right at the end of the half. It did sort of fizzle out midway through the opening period, though, and this game needs a goal to really reignite things again.

HALF-TIME: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0-0 CRYSTAL PALACE
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
OH HE'S GOT TO FINISH! Forest should have been ahead at the break! It's another excellent cross in from Anderson from the left and Wood stretches out a long leg and almost controls it straight at Henderson from close range when he should have buried it!

There will be two minutes of added time on in this first half.

Chalobah marauds forward and finds Munoz, who cross is blocked behind by Moreno for a corner. Hughes takes it short, gets it back from Eze and sees his cross headed clear by Yates.

Eze swings in a free-kick from deep after what seemed like an age for it to be taken. It was a complete waste of time as an offside flag is raised.
