Follow all the action from The City Ground
Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Brentford 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 Brentford
A breathless tempo has been set by both sides so far. It is end-to-end action and is just a matter of who lands the first blow.

Elanga slaloms his way into the box but is just stopped in time by Lewis-Potter. It looks as though it is now a ploy to exploit the brentford full-back who is on a disciplinary tightrope.

LEWIS-POTTER NEARLY SEES RED!! The whole ground are up in arms as Aina skips down the right again and tempts Lewis-Potter into a very late challenge. OFF, OFF, OFF!! Is the chant from the Forest faithful but the referee shakes his head. He won't be allowed another one though.

Two opposing strikers; both wearing number 11, both with names starting with ‘W’, and both having scored a hatful of goals this season. But which one will inspire their team to GET the ‘W’ this evening? Surely Wood and Wissa will have a bearing on tonight’s scoreline in one way or another.

Wissa is becoming increasingly involved in this encounter. The home side will not need reminding of his talent.

CLOSE FROM VAN DEN BERG!! SELS SAVES!! Damsgaard whipped in a stunning ball from the right-hand side. van den Berg sneaks in and gets a head to it, but Sels is alert and beats it away.
