Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace 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 Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland 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:

Crystal Palace lead Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the break.

They went close to a second on the stroke of half-time but Guehi hit the post with a header from a free-kick. Palace have created an xG worth 0.66 compared to 0.27 for Forest.

Another opportunity for Palace as Mitchell keeps the ball alive for the home side and tees up Hughes on the edge of the area but his looping strike is always missing the target. The home side are completely on top as we approach the end of the first half.

14:38
Mateta waits in the middle as Mitchell supplies a cross but Milenkovic is equal to it. He's already made a key number of headers and interceptions to help Nuno's side so far.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
14:37
A half-chance is spurned as Wood knocks back a long cross into the path of Gibbs-White to strike from just inside the area, but he can't keep the shot down on the half-volley and skies it.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
14:36
As well as being the only Palace player to create a chance today, Hughes is their only player to maintain a 100% pass accuracy so far with 13 passes out of 13. He's being booed by the Forest fans due to his Derby connections but he's made a fine start to this encounter.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
14:33
Palace continue to pen Forest inside their area and win a corner, with Hughes' delivery met by Lacroix but he can't generate the power on the header and Selz can make a comfortable stop.

14:31
Palace test Selz properly for the first time today as Hughes feeds a ball in for Mateta in space, with the striker letting fly from just outside the area but the goalkeeper is equal to it and pushes the ball away from danger.

14:29
Palace just seem to be upping the tempo as the ball is played out to Mitchell in space but his first time cross is cleared away by the outstretched foot of Milenkovic. Better from the home side.

14:26
Selz is called into action to keep out a deflected cross from Munoz at his near post but the flag is up as the ball had already gone out of play.

Forest are unchanged from the side that defeated Brentford last week. New signings Luiz, McAtee, Kalimuendo and Hutchinson all start on the bench and could make their debuts.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
14:23
Nottingham Forest began the season with a 3-1 victory over Brentford at the City Ground. Chris Wood picked up from where he left off last season as he helped himself to a brace as Forest ran out comfortable winners on the opening weekend. However, this week has been marred by manager Nuno Espirito Santo admitting that his relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis is not what it used to be. Nuno's position going forward is unclear, but he takes charge of his side for the trip to Selhurst Park.

14:23
Crystal Palace put in a fine display on the opening weekend as they came away from Stamford Bridge with a 1-1 draw at Chelsea. They began their European adventure in midweek with a 1-0 win over Fredrikstad in the first leg of their Conference League qualifier. This will be their first match since the departure of England international Eberechi Eze after he completed a move to Arsenal a day earlier.

14:23
Anderson frees up Hudson-Odoi on the left who closes in on goal, but his low strike is deflected against Richards and away from danger. There has been space for the away side to exploit so far but their wingers haven't particularly made the most of it.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
14:20
Among managers to take charge of 10+ top-flight games for Nottingham Forest, only Brian Clough (44%) has a higher win ratio than Nuno Espírito Santo (43%). He will hope to get a second league win of the season this afternoon.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

Forest enjoy a bit of sustained pressure as the ball is swept to the right flank for Ndoye to take on Mitchell, but his deflected cross is straight into the hands of Henderson.

14:14
It's a bit end to end at the moment, with Palace offering plenty going forward but Forest also look dangerous when they hit the home side on the counter attack.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
14:11
Forest win the first corner of the match after a fine Aina run and cross is met by the head of Richards. Lacroix clears the danger and any pressure is lifted after Sangare blazes a volley over the crossbar.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
14:10
Mateta frees up Sarr down the right, who takes on Sangare, but his cross has too much on it and can't reach Devenny inside the area. It's been a decent start from both sides here.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
14:07
Forest create their first chance of the match as Gibbs-White does well to beat Mitchell to the ball and supply a cross for Wood but his volleyed effort is off target.

Devenny becomes the 40th Northern Irish player to reach 25 Premier League appearances and the 10th of those to do so aged 21 or younger. He will operate alongside Sarr in the inside forward positions.
