Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Everton 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 Everton
15:36
We've admittedly hit a little bit of a lull. Mykolenko is down after an aerial challenge with Williams. He takes a while to get back to his feet.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
15:33
Williams rushes forward on Forest's right, yet is brought down by Ndiaye for a free-kick. Again, the hosts refuse to go long, but they work it across the field before Hudson-Odoi can cross for Jota. He rises, but heads straight at Pickford.

15:31
Broja's presence is causing all sorts of problems for Forest. The latest move sees the Albanian international nod down for Ndiaye, yet Milenkovic makes sure the Senegalese winger can't get onto the ball.

15:30
Everton force their hosts to clear behind twice in quick succession. Murillo clears the latter and Jota chases, but Gueye is calm under pressure. Forest regain possession, and despite the Toffees' stubborn shape, a reverse pass finds Jota on the left of the box. He cuts in on the right but can only fire his low effort straight at Pickford.

15:29
GARNER! Best chance of the game so far! Harrison finds Garner inside the right of the box with a cute, cutting pass. The midfielder drills it across Sels but the keeper gets down well to deny with a strong double-handed save!
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
15:25
Jota wipes out Garner at the halfway line, and the free-kick is played short. The move culminates with Ndiaye going on a mazey adventure before poking a low shot at Sels through the bodies.

15:24
Home pressure culminates with the ball dropping nicely for a Dominguez volley. This is blocked well but the hosts stay high with a left-sided throw. Everton make sure they can't keep the offensive momentum up with a very stubborn shape that forces Nuno's team backwards.

15:21
Following a darting drive down the right from Broja, Harrison takes on the task with a determined run to the edge of the Forest area. He strikes, but the shot pings comfortably over and left of the target.

Yellow Card Abdoulaye Doucouré

Forest go short with the free-kick and admittedly try to be a bit too cute with it. Everton recover, and the opportunity is wasted.

15:16
Jota is down now after an off-ball collision with Branthwaite. The giant defender looks to have stopped across the runner and whacked him with a cynical shoulder. A free-kick is given, with the England international very fortunate not to be booked. Delivery from the right to come.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
15:16
Harrison crosses into the Forest box from the right and Ndiaye tangles with Williams with his back to goal. The home side clear with murmurings of VAR, yet play continues.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
15:11
Branthwaite tracks back to defend a long ball aimed at Jota. The Portuguese pushes the towering defender to the ground to give away a soft foul. In the next phase, O'Brien darts towards the right byline and crosses, yet Murillo is in the right place to clear. After this, and continued Toffees pressure, the hosts come unstuck as Gibbs-White turns away from Garner to win a free-kick.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
15:09
Harrison flies in on Anderson, and Pawson has to stop play for the chopping tackle. Time to lay down the law. It'll be interesting to see how many high-paced challenges we'll continue to see.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
15:08
Everton are continuing their bright start, with several touches from Broja already catching the eye. Unfortunately for the Albanian international, despite bringing the ball down well in the box, he is diverted out and Gueye pelts the ball at the striker as he struggles to get out of the way.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
15:06
The away side enjoy some of the early possession, yet a move inwards from Mykolenko doesn't come to anything as Ndiaye loses control of the ball. Hudson-Odoi threatens to counter down Forest's left flank, yet the men in blue recover.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
15:03
And we're off at a noisy City Ground!
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
15:03
As Forest voices rise for the Mull of Kintyre, it seems the visitors will kick us off, playing from right to left.

15:02
The referee tasked with officiating this occasion today is Craig Pawson. He leads the players out to a typically noisy City Ground as both sides make their voices heard. Not that Everton will make this easy by any means, but following their 2-0 win at Goodison Park in December, Nottingham Forest are looking to complete their first league double over the Toffees since 1994-95. Interestingly enough, that season was the last time the Trees qualified for Europe, as they finished third in the league to qualify for the UEFA Cup. They now have the opportunity to take another step towards going one better and joining Europe's elite for the first time in 45 years.

Everton also make three changes following the draw against Arsenal last Saturday. Armando Broja, who is yet to score this season, gets a start up front in place of Beto. Vitalii Mykolenko and James Garner also come in for Nathan Patterson and Tim Iroegbunam.

Nottingham Forest make three changes from the side that lost to Aston Villa last weekend, as they aim to consolidate their position in the top three of the Premier League. A big boost sees the return of top scorer Chris Wood after missing the last three games with a hip injury. Alex Moreno and Jota Silva also come in. Anthony Elanga is unavailable after picking up a knock at Villa, while Morato and Ryan Yates drop to the bench. Continuing in the midfield is Morgan Gibbs-White. He will be making his 100th appearance for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.

Today’s Premier League clash puts third against 15th place, as Champions League hopefuls Nottingham Forest welcome an ever-determined Everton to the City Ground. A 2-1 away defeat to Aston Villa last weekend allowed the chasing pack to close the gap on the Trees, while Everton proved difficult opponents for Arsenal at Goodison Park. That 1-1 draw on Merseyside means six of Everton's last eight Premier League matches have ended level. For Forest, their form suggests that the loss at Villa comes as a rarity, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side especially strong at home. With seven wins in their last nine on the bank of the Trent, while drawing the other two, that is as many victories as they had managed on home soil in the 24 games prior. With a particularly solid record against teams currently in the bottom half this season, the men in red have taken 40 points from a possible 42 in 14 matches. David Moyes will be looking to upset yet another top side, though, leaving this fixture with all to play for as the Toffees look to end their season on a high.
