Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Nottingham Forest 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:
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
BLOCKED!!! Sarabia and Doherty combine to tee up a first-time strike for Bellegarde, but his effort from the edge of the box is blocked by Murillo to skew behind for a corner!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Play is halted for Forest substitute Morato to receive treatment following a clash of knees with Sarabia, but the free-kick goes the visitors' way as Sels resumes proceedings with a long punt forwards.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
With 10 minutes left on the clock, Wolves are still yet to really test Sels other than those sparse chances for Larsen so far, and they face a big task if they're to salvage any kind of result and prevent a first loss in charge for Vitor Pereira.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
The Reds are on course for their sixth straight Premier Leahue win, something they haven't done in the top-flight since a run of seven between May and September 1979 under Brian Clough, and they last did so within the same season in 1966-67, with two runs of six.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Sarabia swings a deep Wolves free-kick in towards the far post which is headed back across the face by Lemina, but the offside flag is up to penalise the substitute before Larsen can try to turn the ball goalwards!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest have won 37 points in their 19 league games so far this season, an improvement of 20 points from their total at this stage last season (17). Two of the last three teams with a 20+ point improvement at the halfway stage in consecutive seasons have then won the league – Chelsea in 2016-17 (+29 from 2015-16) and Leicester City in 2015-16 (+26 from 2014-15). Ominous.

OVER!!! Jota Silva bursts in behind from a loose ball and fizzes a cross into the centre, where Hudson-Odoi is arriving at speed and sending a header over the top from right in front!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
SAVED!!! Hudson-Odoi's peach of a cross into the middle is eventually scrambled clear by Wolves, and they race clear on the counter-attack. Guedes drives through the middle and tees up Larsen to his right, and the striker lashes a powerful effort goalwards, only for Sels to tip it behind for a corner!
