Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face West Ham United 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 West Ham United

Forest appeal for a penalty for a foul on Gibbs-White, but it is slightly outside the box, and so the correct decision of a free-kick is given.

West Ham with the first corner of the game, played short by Bowen, and the ball is cleared after a poor pass by the visitors. Waste of a good position.

To this point, Kilman has had four times as many touches as Gibbs-White, demonstrating the possession based approach of the visitors.

Nottingham Forest vs West Ham United

West Ham are trying to hold onto the ball and build attacks from the back, while Forest are a lot more direct in their approach, happy to launch the ball forward to Wood, but also working the ball when they fancy.

Dominguez with a speculative effort. He received the ball five yards outside the penalty area, and moved it out of his feet before striking well wide. The shot never looked like troubling the goalkeeper, a waste of a dangerous position by the hosts.

Nottingham Forest vs West Ham United

The Hammers have started to find their feet, as they move the ball across the backline and down the wing, before moving it back to the middle of the park. But a long ball forward loses possession, however it will calm the nerves of the side.

Forest look incredibly dangerous in the early stages, but not accurate enough in their final passes. If that is sorted out it they will surely test West Ham, who are having to deal with constant early pressure.

First chance of the game falls the way of Forest and Hudson-Odoi, the ball was rolled across the box and the winger struck his shot wide of the keepers left hand post, he will feel he should have done better. But encouraging signs for the hosts.
