Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Crystal Palace 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:
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
There it is, the final whistle goes and it’s Nottingham Forest who beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at the City Ground to earn a first home win of the campaign! It an extremely tight game it was all settled by a moment Henderson – who played for England against Finland over the international break – will want to forget. Wood chanced his arm with a low drive that, while it was well hit, really should have been saved by the Palace goalkeeper. Both sides hit the woodwork in a lively first half and Wood, who could have had a hat-trick on another night, made the difference after the break. It means Forest move up to eighth in the Premier League table, while Palace – whose xG of 1.08 was inferior to Forest’s 1.62 – remain 18th and without a win through eight games to crank up the pressure on Glasner and his side. That’s all for this evening folks, thanks for joining us – until next time!
