Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face West Ham United 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:

HALF TIME: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1-0 WEST HAM

Nottingham Forest vs West Ham United

Paqueta cannot believe how he did not score. His effort from the edge of the penalty area was kept out on the line by a sliding Wood who deflected it wide of the post for a corner. The effort fell to the attacker after Kilman had headed the ball back across the area for a poor Forest clearance to land at his feet. Only Wood will know if he meant to clear the ball the way he did.
