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
HUGE CHANCE! Oh, Wood should score. He's been in excellent form and that was bread and butter for the New Zealander. Anderson delivers a wonderful ball from deep and Wood heads over the top despite having the run on his marker. You'd expect the net to have bulged there.
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
How about those feet from Anderson? Hudson-Odoi saw a shot blocked and his team-mate, almost Messi-esque, glides through the challenge of three Palace defenders in the area before drawing the save from former Forest loanee Henderson. At the follow-up corner, Wood flicks a header goalwards that is cleared on the line from Lerma.

Shortly after Hudson-Odoi almost gets fully in behind for Forest, Palace go up the other end to work the ball to Nketiah, who hits a tame effort straight at Selz. You'd expect him to do a bit better in truth.

Forest have struggled to get going so far in attack but Milenkovic has been superb at the back. The Serbian makes one particularly excellent sliding challenge to beat Nketiah to a long punt over the top.

Palace have been pretty bright in the early exchanges, seeing plenty of the ball. Kamada shapes to shoot from distance but, on his weaker left foot, the effort is tame and easily held by Selz.

Eze thinks he should have a foul after copping an arm in the face from Yates but it was completely accidental. At the other end, Guehi stops a Forest counter with a crunching tackle.

Aina goes around Lerma on the right and is crudely pulled back by the Palace midfielder to prevent the attack. Referee Robinso has no hesitation in going to his pocket for the yellow card.

Ooft close! Eze picks up the ball about 40 yards from goal and charges forward before bending a 25-yard effort narrowly wide of the left post. The first real effort of note goes to the visitors.

Forest, whose boss Nuno Espirito Santo is serving a touchline ban, have not seen much of the ball in the early exchanges although Palace have not yet threatened their goal either.
