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:

Worryingly for Palace, they are winless in their past 10 top-flight meetings with Forest (D6 L4), last coming out on top 1-0 away in February 1991. Indeed, Forest have never lost in eight Premier League meetings with Palace (W3 D5). It's the most they've faced without losing and the most Palace have faced without winning in the competition.

Forest note two changes with suspended duo Morgan Gibbs-White and Ward-Prowse replaced by Dominguez and Elanga. For Palace, Wharton and Sarr drop to the bench with Hughes and Kamada coming into the XI. Academy graduates Kporha and Agbinone make the bench and will be looking to make their respective Premier League debuts.

Conversely, it's been a hugely difficult season for the Eagles, who are yet to chalk up a win and only have three points to their name. Much was expected of Palace after an impressive end to the last campaign under Oliver Glasner but things just haven't got going for Palace. The situation is not completely dire yet but they could really do with a shot in the arm to inject some life in their season.

Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace

Forest have been in decent form this campaign, losing only once in seven top-flight outings and entered the international break with a 1-1 draw at Chelsea despite a late sending off for James Ward-Prowse. Indeed, a victory here tonight could see them climb as high as eighth in the table.
