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
Forest forward Wood has now netted eight goals in 13 Premier League appearances vs Wolves, his joint-most against any opponents in the competition having produced the exact same record against West Ham United.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Milenkovic can only spoon Ait-Nouri's cross up into the air and the ball comes back to Wolves on the edge of the box, where Guedes lines up a 20-yard strike but sees his effort blocked by Murillo.

Lima hits a throughball right down the line for Doherty to cross in, and his effort takes a deflection to find the side netting and go behind for a corner.

Guedes escapes the attention of Williams down the right and looks to fire a cross into the area, but can't direct his ball in well enough and it sails right over the top.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Wolves haven't come back from two goals down to win a Premier League since all the way back in January 2020, beating Southampton 3-2 almost five years ago.

CHANCE!! The visitors play their free-kick short to Elanga down the right and he fizzes a threatening ball across the face of goal, but it gets a touch off a Wolves player to skew behind for an early corner!

Our live win probability tracker is now stacked heavily in Forest's favour, with the visitors now 2-0 up and standing at a 92.3% chance of victory. Wolves, down on just 1.4%, have it all to do in the next 45 minutes, as Guedes gets the game back underway.

He was booed with every touch he took for the first seven minutes of the match, but ex-Wolves man Gibbs-White had soon silenced Molineux with his early opener for the Reds. The Forest captain scored with one of his four touches in the box, and has also completed 11 final-third passes so far, as well as contesting five duels, with two in the air, and two dribbles. He's come back to haunt the hosts so far, and Gibbs-White is well on his way to leading the visitors up to joint-second in the Premier League.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
There's the whistle for the break, as two goals at the very start and very end of the half give Nottingham Forest a 2-0 lead over Wolves at Molineux!! It's been a thoroughly entertaining, end-to-end contest thus far, but Forest struck the first killer blow after just seven minutes as ex-Wolves man Gibbs-White finished off his own counter-attack in clinical style. The hosts went close to equalising on several occasions and racked up 1.35 xG, with Strand Larsen twice being denied right on the goal-line by Murillo and Sels, and Rodrigo Gomes drawing another save from the Forest goalkeeper. Forest, however, would have the last laugh in the half, and despite generating just 0.58 xG, another breakaway move saw Hudson-Odoi tee up Wood for a simple finish. As things stand, Forest are joint-second in the Premier League table, and it'll take some comeback for Wolves to turn things around from here.
