Follow all the action from The City Ground
Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Aston Villa 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:

GOAL RULED OUT! Forest's leveller is chalked off by the VAR! Elanga was ever so slightly offside when he took the ball from Gibbs-White and then set up Wood, so the goal won't stand! Villa breathe a collective sigh of relief.

FOREST STRIKE BACK! Wood makes it 1-1! A sweeping move from left to right ends with substitute Elanga arriving on the right side of the area and placing a pass back along the six-yard box. Wood meets it first, turning the ball home from close range! But, was there an offside?

GOAL CHECK! Wood's joy is quelled, as the VAR wants to review whether Elanga was offside when receiving the ball from Gibbs-White - it looks a really close call!

Unable to get any power on his looping header from the left side of the box, Gibbs-White sends the ball into the gloves of Martinez, whose superb save from Dominguez could ultimately prove the turning point in this game.
