Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

17:12
Olise floats a free kick to the back post and Edouard is there, but heads it just wide of the far side. Relief for Forest.

17:11
Palace simply trying to steady the ship for now.

17:10
More danger for Palace! Boly does brilliantly to flick on Gibbs White's corner, but Johnstone intervenes just before Awoniyi can convert at the back post.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
17:08
Awoniyi is now the first player to score in four consecutive Premier League games for Forest since Stan Collymore got six in a row in 1995.

How has that stayed out! A scramble from Olise's cross ends up with Eze, whose shot on the turn from point-blank lookes destined for the net, but Ayew gets in the way on the line.

17:02
Half-an-hour into the first half and there have been few opportunities for either side, with Hennessey saving from Hughes at his near post in Palace's first real chance.

Palace try to force the issue but the ball into Edouard is too hot to handle, and Forest break. However, a great challenge from Doucoure stops the threat at source.

Forest really dropping off their hosts now, Awoniyi is furthest forward and even he is halfway inside his own half.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
16:56
Hughes does brilliantly to win the ball in midfield, and eventually finds Ayew, but the Ghanaian lashes his effort wide.

16:54
Olise is really dictating things now, but on this occasion his chipped ball in is too close to Hennessey.

Another set-piece by Olise, but his corner is too heavy for Edouard at the far post who fouls his man when challenging for possession.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
16:51
Nearly! Olise rolls the free kick to the edge of the box for Eze, who whips the shot round the onrushing defenders, but just the wrong side of the near post too.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
16:49
Great work by Olise earns the hosts a free kick on the byline just outside the box.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
16:48
Palace trying to get more of the ball now, Andersen and Guehi are just finding their feet.

Niakhate takes another long throw which is cleared as far as Aurier, whose driven effort flies well wide.

Lodi finds space on the left but his cross is blocked by Ward and Forest have a corner.

16:41
Forest cause a bit of chaos with a long throw, but Palace defend resolutely. Nobody was up for the clearance though, and Forest will come again.

Olise getting into the game now, but after a tricky run his shot is straight at the 'keeper.

16:24
A win today for Palace would guarentee them 11th place in the league - top of the bottom half. That would include an unlikely placement above London rivals Chelsea.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
16:20
Roy Hodgeson names an unchanged side for his last match as Palace boss (probably), including Eze in attacking midfield after his midweek England call-up. Zaha is not fit, so misses out on a possible farewell appearance. Forest are forced into three changes from the win over Arsenal. Keylor Navas, Felipe, and Danilo all drop out with injuries, replaced by Hennessey, Worrall, and Johnson. Jack Colback, like Zaha, has not reached fitness in time for a probable final game.

With both teams successfuly steering themselves away from the relegation zone before today, both sides will be able to play freely, in the knowledge that they will be in the big time again next season. Palace will be looking to make amends after a Wilfried Zaha penalty miss at the City Ground contributed to a 1-0 win for the hosts in the reverse fixture, and will also be looking to send off manager Roy Hodgeson with a win from his last game managing his boyhood club. On the other side Forest can reach the fabled 40 points mark with a win today, which would constitute a hugely successful return to the top-flight.
