Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
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:

Well, what a day to get one... Yates' goal arrives on his 150th league start for Nottingham Forest.

Fatawu dummies and slaloms on the right, yet can't find Buonanotte. Anderson tries to play out, yet gets pulled back and Forest can pump a long free-kick out of their third.
Leicester City vs Nottingham Forest
Steve Cooper managed 108 games for Nottingham Forest from 2018 to 2022. He eggs on his players after the ball goes out for a throw. He knows the intensity and pace that Forest play with. His Leicester side need to exceed their rivals tonight.

Mavididi looks to drive past Aina, yet the right-back tracks him superbly to deny the run. Leicester win the ball back though, and keep coming. In the next phase, Vardy crosses from the left wing, and Ndidi's lofty header floats left of Sels' goal.

Buonanotte receives the ball in the centre of the Forest half and drives at the defence before shooting with his right... Murillo blocks and it's a corner on the right. The delivery is sharp, and after Sels looks to get an initial hand on it, Forest can clear.

The game so far is taking the shape of a back-and-forth affair. Both sides are just feeling each other out and trying to make the most of the ball.

Having faced Crystal Palace on Monday (W 1-0), Nottingham Forest are the first side to play on a Monday and a Friday in the same week in the Premier League since Tottenham in October 2023 (as they beat Fulham and Palace).

Well, we spoke (or typed) briefly about the prevalence of Friday nights for Leicester earlier, but tonight's hosts have won just one of their 13 Premier League games on a Friday (before tonight). They have an 8% win rate (D4 L8). Among sides to have played more than five times on this day in the competition, only Crystal Palace (0% - 0/10) have a lower win ratio.
