Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur 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:

Forest's chances of victory in our live probability tracker have shot up to 86.0% following their two-goal display in the first half, and with hosts Tottenham down on just 3.3%, they'll need one hell of a comeback to turn things around as Bentancur gets the second period underway.

It's only half-time, but Anderson could well have covered every blade of grass already for Forest, scoring the opener with a fizzer of a strike which had just 0.02 xG behind it. The Reds midfielder was denied an assist by VAR's semi-automated offside system, but still created one big chance from six final-third passes and has won a game-high six of his nine duels; including twice in the air, turning possession over on three occasions and winning three free-kicks in the process. Lynchpin.

There's the half-time whistle, and the boos ring around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the hosts trailing Nottingham Forest 2-0 at the break. The visitors flew out of the blocks and were ahead inside five minutes, as Anderson rifled a first-time strike through a crowd and into the net from a cleared corner. VAR intervened to deny Forest a second within 10 minutes after Wood was caught offside from Anderson's cross, but just six minutes later, Wood rose again to head Elanga's delivery beyond a stranded Vicario and into the back of the net for 2-0. Spurs may have outscored the Reds in terms of xG, leading by 1.23 to Forest's 0.33, but efforts from Odobert, Kulusevski, Tel and Richarlison are yet to beat Sels between the sticks and as things stand, Ange Postecoglou's side are heading for an 18th Premier League defeat of the season.
