Follow all the action from London Stadium
Follow live coverage as West Ham United 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:
West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest
CHANCE! Wood sneaks in behind the West Ham defence and races through on goal, he tries to slide it across to Elanga, but it's cut out by Areola. However, the rebound falls straight back to him and he has another go, this time shooting, but Areola palms the strike away down to his right. Really good opportunity for Forest to make it 2-0 before half-time.

We're almost at the break now, can West Ham find the equaliser before the half-time whistle? Or, will Forest be able to double their advantage?

The visitors are looking to break on the counter-attack whenever they can, using the pace of Elanga and Gibbs-White to their advantage. They are also getting joy in the West Ham half when the home side lose possession, as they are still making too many sloppy passes, just handing it back to their opponents.

It's nice possession by the Hammers, but it's too easy for Forest to defend at the moment as they're keeping their shape well and not allowing any gaps to appear in behind.

As it stands this result for Forest would make it a very interesting final day next week as six teams battle in and around the European qualifications spots. Forest themselves face Chelsea, in what could be a winner takes all fixture.

Decent chance! Kudus rises highest as a deep cross is whipped into the penalty area from the left wing and he powers his header towards goal. However, he can't keep it down and it flies over the Forest crossbar.

We're almost at the half an hour mark here and it remains Forest who lead 1-0 thanks to an early goal from Gibbs-White that was gifted to him by the West Ham keeper.

West Ham haven’t lost their final home league game in any of the last seven campaigns (W5 D2), since a 4-0 loss against Liverpool in 2016-17.

OFF THE POST! A deep corner comes into the box from the left and Wood gets his head to it at the far post and powers a header into the ground looking for the bottom right corner of the net. However, it strikes the post! The striker was so close to doubling their lead!
