Follow live coverage as Leicester City 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:

Five years ago on this very day, on a Friday night, Leicester City scored nine goals at Southampton. That 9-0 win on 25 October 2019 is still Leicester's only Premier League victory in 13 games on a Friday. Recently, the Foxes have endured mixed results and are striving to put that behind them as they welcome Nottingham Forest. Leicester are in 14th place on nine points after eight matches. Funnily enough, they won their last Premier League match 3-2 against Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium. Forest earned a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at home in their last league match to end a three-match winless streak, leaving the visitors in eighth spot on 13 points through eight matches.
