Follow all the action from The City Ground
Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Fulham 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:

As they often say, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.' That seems to be the motto for Fulham, who are starting with this exact same XI for the third week in a row. Outside of Carlos Vinicius, who is still out through injury, The Cottagers have a full squad to choose from. However, coach Marco Silva maintains his confidence in the same starting 11, especially after last week's convincing win over Newcastle.

Nottingham Forest make three changes from last week's starting XI, one of which was forced due to Morgan Gibbs-White's red card. Hudson-Odoi and Elanga are also dropped to the bench as part of the changes. Coming into this week's line-up are Yates, Awoniyi, and Dominguez. The shake-up has come in the midfield, which should make things interesting. Danilo is out long-term through injury, while Ibrahim Sangare is also not fit enough to make the matchday 20.

They have two wins to their credit, including a shocking 1-0 victory at Liverpool. Last week saw the Tricky Trees play to a thrilling 2-2 draw against Brighton. Now they will look to remain unbeaten, which would further increase their chances of avoiding relegation. As for Fulham, they are going into this game off the back of a 3-1 win over Newcastle at home. With a 2-2-1 record thus far, they are comfortably among the middle of the pack.
