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:

Another long throw in from Aina, and the West Ham defender’s half clear the ball straight to Hudson-Odoi just inside the penalty area. The winger took the ball down on his chest before volleying at goal. The shot though was straight into the gloves of Fabianski, who dealt with it superbly.

Wood with his first shot of the game. He received the ball from Hudson-Odoi around 25 yards out and with the crowd shouting for the New Zealander to shoot, he obliged. However, unlike his strike against Palace where it snuck in bottom corner, this effort went well wide, never causing an issue for the keeper.
