Follow all the action from Vitality Stadium
Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth 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:

AFC Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest
As for Nottingham Forest, they had been relentlessly climbing the table until they fell slightly down to seventh place at the back end of 2024, but they have regained their form and now they are in third place in the Premier League. Yes, you read that correctly, Forest are third in the Premier League, and the once tongue-in-cheek comments about Champions League qualification suddenly feel very real. Never mind European football, they are only six points off the league leaders Liverpool, and who knows what can happen between now and the end of the season!? They beat Southampton 3-2 last time out and will look to increase their points tally further here on the South Coast.

They have already beaten teams such as Arsenal, Manchester City and of course Newcastle, so they will have their tails coming into this one and believe they can pick up three more points.
