The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.

Tottenham Hotspur are bidding to return to the top four with a win at home over Nottingham Forest, who themselves are desperate to put points between themselves and Luton Town in the battle at the bottom to avoid relegation.

Son Heung-min is making his 400th appearance for Spurs, who have the likes of Micky van de Ven and Brennan Johnson in their starting lineup - the latter against his former club. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are only outside the bottom three on goal difference heading into the match and can ill-afford too many further defeats.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest

POST!!! Romero and Son are both urged to shoot from the edge of the box but ignore the cries of the crowd, and the latter plays in Porro to his right. The full-back's low cross is blocked by Aina, sending the ball looping up and clipping the top of the near post on its way behind!

Sarr sparks another speedy attack from the hosts and links up with Johnson to his right, but with four white shirts in the box, the winger's left-footed cross sails over the heads of everyone and bounces behind for a Forest goal-kick.

When these two sides last met in the Premier League, Tottenham came out on top 2-0 at The City Ground in December 2023. Richarlison struck first for Spurs in the 47th minute and Dejan Kulusevski also was on target, but neither are in Spurs' current line-up with only Kulusevski on the bench.

SAVED!!! Elanga drifts inside off the right flank and collect Omobamidele's pass before driving forward to the edge of the box. He shoots low and hard, but Vicario sees it all the way and makes a vital save for Spurs!

Only in 2019-20 (14) has Chris Wood scored more Premier League goals in a season than his 12 this term, and he was just thw width of a post from making it 13 there!

OFF THE WOODWORK!!!! How are Forest not in front?? Aina brings down a high ball and makes a brilliant run into the box before squaring to Yates, whose shot goalwards is parried brilliantly by Vicario. Wood is just yards out and follows in to put Forest 2-1 up, but smashes his close-range shot against the post and back out again!! The noise made by ball on post there must have rung all around this stadium!!

Nottingham Forest have won just two of their last 25 away Premier League matches. Since winning their first away game under Nuno Espirito Santo on Boxing Day at Newcastle, Forest are winless in their last five on the road.

OVER!!! Son feigns shooting as he shifts from his right foot to his left and plays in Werner, but the German's first-time effort is overhit and sent sailing over the top!

Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest

Williams and Elanga threaten to open Spurs up down the right again, but Udogie wins possession back with a strong challenge before Maddison's cross-field pass sails over the head of Son and out!
