Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
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:
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
The fizz has gone from the game just a little bit with two very good defences now on top a little bit.
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
Elanga tries to break down the right for Forest but is denied by a very good challenge from Mitchell.

You do sense that the first goal in this game, if indeed there is on, is going to be massive because it's a very even, very entertaining game and whoever makes the breakthrough might fancy their chances of seeing it out.
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
Dominguez wins a corner for Forest that Elanga delivers from the left. It nearly falls for Wood but it looks like he actually accidentally cleared it away.

Munoz swings a delivery in from the right and there are plenty of Palace bodies waiting. Kamada is the man to reach it but his miscues his volley and Selz gathers comfortably.

The only thing missing to truly ignite this game is a goal but you have to say it's not been for a lack of trying, both sides are giving it a go. Nketiah once again shows good movement in the area but drags an effort wide of the right post.
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
In all competitions, Nottingham Forest are winless in seven games at the City Ground (D4 L3). It’s their longest run without a home win since October 2020 (also 7), while they last went longer in February 2012 (8), a run which included a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Championship.

OH HOW CLOSE! Elanga puts a brilliant cross in from the right that Henderson can't get near but thankfully for the visitors Chalobah makes a crucial touch to put it behind. At the resulting corner Palace initially clear but it's headed back in by Moreno before captain Yates nods agonisingly against the post. The skipper now needs treatment and there's a break in proceedings.

GREAT EFFORT! Nketiah has the Forest defence backtracking but the shot still looks difficult. The former Arsenal man hits a wonderful swerving effort, though, and it clips the outside of the right post.
