Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town 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:
Ipswich Town FC 1 - 4 Nottingham Forest FC

16:49What a last involvement for Gibbs-White, he comes off moments after creating Forest's fourth and Danilo comes on.

16:41Assist Jack Raymond Clarke
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:41Woods has had a frustrating day. He has got into good positions but has missed the clinical touch that was have come to see this season. His game is over with Awoniyi entering the action.

16:41Goal Jens-Lys Michel Cajuste
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:41Philogene has had a tireless role with him trying to help O'Shea in defence and he comes off for Clarke.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:41A host of changes for both sides now. Delap has been quiet this afternoon and comes off for Hirst.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:41Substitution Callum James Hudson-Odoi João Pedro Ferreira Silva
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:41Nottigham Forest still look the most dangerous out of the two teams. Another lightning-quick break ends with a cross in a positive area going to waste.

16:41Substitution Julio César Enciso Espínola Nathan Paul Broadhead
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:39There is a slight stop in play as Milenkovic receives treatment after a collision with Delap. He seems to have dealt with the knock okay and is back up.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:33Williams has found himself with a license to play further up the field and he finds himself on the edge of the box with space to drill a ball across goal but no one was waiting for that pass.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:30Nottingham Forest are happy to watch Ipswich have the ball because with three centrebacks they will back themselves to deal with whatever Ipswich throw at them.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:27Davis tries an effort from distant. The ball comes out to him and he smashes a wild effort well wide.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:27Substitution Anthony David Junior Elanga Felipe Rodrigues da Silva
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:27Substitution Nicolás Martín Domínguez Ryan James Yates
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:27Dominguez is now shown a yellow card. He tried to plead his innocence by saying he got injured in the tackle, but that didn't hold up and his challenge on Cajuste is yellow card worthy.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:26Delap is floating around into the channels, but Ipswich has struggled to get him involved. Along with Delap, Hutchinson's early spark has fizzled out while Ensico has been marshalled well. It seems as those these young attackers have had their confidence hugely dented.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:25Forest are really enjoying themselves out here. Gibbs-White lines up as if he is going to shoot but drills a pass into Elanga but the Swede is just beaten to the ball by Palmer.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:16Absolute chaos in the Ipswich box. A poor header goes straight across Ipswich's box and then Dominguz sets up Wood, who dribbles a shot towards Palmer.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:14Yellow Card Kalvin Mark Phillips
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:13Similar theme to the first half here. Ipswich have started the strongest but they cannot make anything count as Forest play with a confidence that a three-goal lead adds.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:10Ipswich had a free kick near the corner flag but they can't beat the first man and it is cleared to Cajuste. Cajuste then opts to not shoot and the opportunity goes away.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:05Ipswich have started the second half.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:04Ipswich are yet to have a shot on target yet so that would be an improvement if they are to test Forest's nerve but also getting tighter in midfield could help them win the battle that they are currently losing, Elanga has been electric this game and has really torn Ipswich apart but somehow closing him down and stunting him would be key.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:04Substitution Jacob John Greaves Cameron Robert Burgess
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
16:00Well for 35 minutes, McKenna was probably content with the performance, but six minutes later his side were three goals down. Milenkovic opened the scoring with a fierce volley, then Elanga scored two more in four minutes to almost put this game out of sight. The Swede's first was a curled effort and his second, Forest's third, punished Ipswich's chaotic defending by latching onto a loose ball from Milenkovic. It seems like an impossible task for Ipswich to overturn this and with Wolves winning, their day has not gone the way they wanted.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:50Half-time: Ipswich 0-3 Nottingham Forest
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:50There are only two minutes left in this half.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:48Everyone feels a bit shell-shocked in Portman Road apart from one pocket of fans who are cheering Elanga's name and taunting Ipswich with relegation.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:43Assist Nikola Milenković
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:43If anything sums up Ipswich's last five minutes it is Phillips letting the ball roll under his foot and then only just beating Wood to the ball. If Wood did manage to get that ball, he would have had a great counter opportunity. Ipswich have let their eye off the ball.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:39Assist Elliot Junior Anderson
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:38Goal Anthony David Junior Elanga
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:38Goal Nikola Milenković
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:38Palmer is the first goalkeeper to be called into action. Wood finds himself in between two defenders and his cushioned header is far too weak to cause any issues for Palmer who gobbles the ball up.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:34This won't go down as a classic going off the opening 30 minutes. Neither goalkeeper has had to make a save.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:34Ipswich's good start has seemed to fizzle out with Nottingham Forest dominating the ball and trying to wait for an opening. The home side have shown threats on the counter but their role in this game has taken a far more defensive tone.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:30Forest's wingers have been really aggressive in this game so far. Mainly Elanga, but Hudson-Odoi has been tag-teamed with Philogene helping his defence. Although the O'Shea was caught one-on-one with the winger and he got beaten before Hudson-Odoi flashed his cross across goal. No one was there to tap it in for all of the Englishman's hard work.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:26It was going so well for Elanga and then he tripped over himself as he entered the box. He rushed past two defenders and he started to stumble, then called for a penalty to hide his blushes.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:25Elanga is positive with the ball as he tries to take on his man and when he eventually beats him, he struggles to find his teammate and the cross is intercepted.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:20This is hardly the way Espirito Santo would want his 50th game to go. His side have been high energy but lacked the clinical passes to really threaten Ipswich and have given away picky fouls across the pitch.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:18Ipswich are too quick for Forest here as Ensico reaches the ball before Aina to unleash a shot but the recovering defender flies across to block the shot for a corner.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:14Neither side has managed to really take control of this game so far. Lots of opportunities to counter-attack but the end product has just lacked for both teams.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:11Gibbs-White dropped deep to receive the ball and, after turning, he tried to find Elanga running in behind but it was too heavy of a pass and it rolled out of play. Not even the rapid Elanga could get on the end of it.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:07Hutchinson won the free kick and stepped up to take it but he couldn't clip the ball over the wall and Forest cleared.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:07Hutchinson shows some early energy to turn away from Anderson and charge at Forest's goal, but before he gets to the box, Williams takes him out to win a free kick.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:03Nottingham Forest kick us off here at Portman Road.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
15:01Kick-off is fast approaching here and what a vital game for both ends of the table.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
14:56This will be Nuno Espirito Santo's 50th Premier League game in charge of Nottingham Forest. He has the third best top-flight win record for a Nottingham Forest manager in their first 50 games. Number one is obviously Brian Clough with 27, then Frank Clark, who managed the team between 1993-1995. Clarke recorded 25, and then Nuno, who has had 21 victories in his 49 games so far, was third. Can he add another one today?
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
14:56Ipswich have only made one change from their defeat against Crystal Palace last weekend and that is Hutchinson coming in for Clarke. The switch shows the talent that they have among their ranks with Delap leading the line they also pose a threat that a lot of Premier League teams have struggled to deal with. None of that matters though unless they are able to build a consistent base in the final ten games to remain in the top division.

Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
14:40With ten games to go, many at the start of the season would have thought Nottingham Forest could have been one of Ipswich's relegation rivals but that is far from the case. They are third and seem to be keeping ahead of the chasing pack even when it looks like they re starting to falter. The win against Manchester City was one of the results of the season last weekend and it has meant they are only four points behind Arsenal and four points clear of dropping out of the Champions League spots.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
14:40Ipswich's return to the Championship is getting more and more likely as the season goes on. The teams fighting for survival are getting fewer and the gap between themselves and Wolves seems to be getting to a point where it could be insurmountable if they continue in the form they are in. They are yet to record a league win in 2025, and have only picked up two points, which has resulted in a gap of six points between themselves and Wolves in 17th.
