Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace 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:
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
Forest win a free-kick in a dangerous position, deep inside the Palace half on the left-hand side. It looks as though Gibbs-White will take and he does, but he plays it short to Anderson. The former Newcastle man delivers to the back post, but it's a poor cross and it's straight behind for a goal-kick.

Anderson launches a ball down the right-hand side for Gibbs-White, and he gets to the byline before firing a cross to the back post. Elanga is there waiting, but Munoz produces a clever header to somehow divert it away from danger. Forest are starting to gain some control here.

Gibbs-White is found in space, just outside the Palace penalty area, and he looks to drive into the box. He drags it past Lacroix, but the defender recovers well to win it back for the Eagles.

Mateta does well to use his strength before getting to the byline and delivers towards the back post. Williams heads away, but only as far as Eze. He has time to bring it under, but he fails to take it under control and Forest can clear.

Elanga turns well before running at the Palace defence. He finds Williams on the left-hand side, and Forest have bodies in the box, but he shanks his cross out of play for a goal-kick. There's been a lack of quality from both sides in the final third so far.

Close! There's a big mix-up at the back as Mitchell attempts to head it into the arms of Henderson. He gets it all wrong, but the Palace goalkeeper somehow prevents an own goal with his feet before Lacroix can clear from danger. It was smart reflexes from Henderson, who reacted quickly to keep it out.

Palace have looked the more threatening in the final third so far, producing six shots, with five of those coming from inside the box. The Eagles are yet to test Sels with a shot on target, however, with both keepers yet to make a save.

Kamada attempts a long-range strike, but it's deflected behind for a corner. Wharton will take and he crosses to the front post. There's a goalmouth scramble as Richards almost pokes home, but Forest just about manage to clear away from danger.

It's another throw-in for Palace and an opportunity for Richards to send it into the box. He launches it to the front post, but it's headed away. Mitchell eventually sends it back into the penalty area, but Sels comes off his line to collect.
