Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers 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:

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

22:02

There's the final whistle, as Nottingham Forest add a late polish in the form of Awoniyi's last-gasp goal to rubber-stamp a 3-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux! Trailing 2-0 at the break, the hosts had a fight on their hands in the second half, but produced just 1.57 xG as Larsen's shot was saved by Sels and Murillo denied Bellegarde in their only real chances. Forest still looked to add to their lead at the other end though, generating 2.20 xG of their own, and after Anderson and Hudson-Odoi both missed from close range, the latter was instrumental in teeing up the third for Awoniyi in injury time as the Reds put Wolves to the sword. It leaves the hosts languishing in a relegation battle, while Forest continue their remarkable campaign in the upper reaches of the Premier League table, drawing level with second-placed Arsenal following their sixth victory on the spin!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:52

Larsen tries to flick Lemina's low pass into the box on for Sarabia, but doesn't get enough contact on the ball and it rolls behind for a goal-kick.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:50

We'll play an additional four minutes at Molineux as Forest close in on hitting the 40-point mark just 20 games into their season, and going joint-second in the Premier League as a result.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:49

CHANCE!! Doherty can't deal with a long ball forward and collides with Sa and Awoniyi in the box as all three hit the deck, but the referee points for a throw in rather than a penalty to give the Wolves skipper a reprieve.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:46

Joao Gomes floats a lobbed pass into the area which Larsen heads down for Sarabia, but the ball is thumped clear before he can connect with it first-time!

Wolves win another free-kick on the right which Sarabia swings into the area, but the ball just won't sit up for either Lemina, Bueno or the Spaniard to strike and Forest eventually clear their lines.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:43

BLOCKED!!! Sarabia and Doherty combine to tee up a first-time strike for Bellegarde, but his effort from the edge of the box is blocked by Murillo to skew behind for a corner!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:42

Play is halted for Forest substitute Morato to receive treatment following a clash of knees with Sarabia, but the free-kick goes the visitors' way as Sels resumes proceedings with a long punt forwards.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:40

With 10 minutes left on the clock, Wolves are still yet to really test Sels other than those sparse chances for Larsen so far, and they face a big task if they're to salvage any kind of result and prevent a first loss in charge for Vitor Pereira.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:38

The Reds are on course for their sixth straight Premier Leahue win, something they haven't done in the top-flight since a run of seven between May and September 1979 under Brian Clough, and they last did so within the same season in 1966-67, with two runs of six.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:36

Sarabia swings a deep Wolves free-kick in towards the far post which is headed back across the face by Lemina, but the offside flag is up to penalise the substitute before Larsen can try to turn the ball goalwards!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:34

Nottingham Forest have won 37 points in their 19 league games so far this season, an improvement of 20 points from their total at this stage last season (17). Two of the last three teams with a 20+ point improvement at the halfway stage in consecutive seasons have then won the league – Chelsea in 2016-17 (+29 from 2015-16) and Leicester City in 2015-16 (+26 from 2014-15). Ominous.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:28

SAVED!!! Hudson-Odoi's peach of a cross into the middle is eventually scrambled clear by Wolves, and they race clear on the counter-attack. Guedes drives through the middle and tees up Larsen to his right, and the striker lashes a powerful effort goalwards, only for Sels to tip it behind for a corner!

CHANCE!!! Bellegarde releases Ait-Nouri to cross from the left and his whipped ball in leaves Sels scrambling, but Williams is there at the back stick to clear for Forest before Larsen can get there!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:26

Larsen's deft flick-on allows Bellegarde to tee up a Guedes cross from the right, but Rodrigo Gomes can't quite get there at the far post and Aina comes away with it.

21:23

BLOCKED!!! Lemina loses out in midfield as Forest look to spring the trap again, but Doherty gets back just in time to block Anderson's first-time shot from Elanga's right-sided cross!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:22

Murillo sizes up a Forest free-kick from absolutely miles out and decides to go for goal, but it's hit high and wide by the defender with what was a speculative effort to say the least!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:19

Doyle, Hwang and Ait-Nouri combine down the left as the latter cuts a cross back from the byline, but with plenty of gold shirts waiting in the middle, Williams races across in cover to thump clear for Forest.

Forest forward Wood has now netted eight goals in 13 Premier League appearances vs Wolves, his joint-most against any opponents in the competition having produced the exact same record against West Ham United.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:15

Milenkovic can only spoon Ait-Nouri's cross up into the air and the ball comes back to Wolves on the edge of the box, where Guedes lines up a 20-yard strike but sees his effort blocked by Murillo.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:13

Lima hits a throughball right down the line for Doherty to cross in, and his effort takes a deflection to find the side netting and go behind for a corner.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:12

Guedes escapes the attention of Williams down the right and looks to fire a cross into the area, but can't direct his ball in well enough and it sails right over the top.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:10

Wolves haven't come back from two goals down to win a Premier League since all the way back in January 2020, beating Southampton 3-2 almost five years ago.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:08

CHANCE!! The visitors play their free-kick short to Elanga down the right and he fizzes a threatening ball across the face of goal, but it gets a touch off a Wolves player to skew behind for an early corner!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:06

Our live win probability tracker is now stacked heavily in Forest's favour, with the visitors now 2-0 up and standing at a 92.3% chance of victory. Wolves, down on just 1.4%, have it all to do in the next 45 minutes, as Guedes gets the game back underway.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:04

Yellow Card Thomas Glyn Doyle

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

21:03

He was booed with every touch he took for the first seven minutes of the match, but ex-Wolves man Gibbs-White had soon silenced Molineux with his early opener for the Reds. The Forest captain scored with one of his four touches in the box, and has also completed 11 final-third passes so far, as well as contesting five duels, with two in the air, and two dribbles. He's come back to haunt the hosts so far, and Gibbs-White is well on his way to leading the visitors up to joint-second in the Premier League.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:55

There's the whistle for the break, as two goals at the very start and very end of the half give Nottingham Forest a 2-0 lead over Wolves at Molineux!! It's been a thoroughly entertaining, end-to-end contest thus far, but Forest struck the first killer blow after just seven minutes as ex-Wolves man Gibbs-White finished off his own counter-attack in clinical style. The hosts went close to equalising on several occasions and racked up 1.35 xG, with Strand Larsen twice being denied right on the goal-line by Murillo and Sels, and Rodrigo Gomes drawing another save from the Forest goalkeeper. Forest, however, would have the last laugh in the half, and despite generating just 0.58 xG, another breakaway move saw Hudson-Odoi tee up Wood for a simple finish. As things stand, Forest are joint-second in the Premier League table, and it'll take some comeback for Wolves to turn things around from here.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:49

HALF-TIME: WOLVES 0-2 NOTTINGHAM FOREST.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:48

We'll play two additional minutes of added time at Molineux, as Forest take complete charge of the scoreline in this Midlands derby.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:45

Assist Callum James Hudson-Odoi

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:45

Hudson-Odoi cuts inside off the left and crosses for Wood in the middle, but the Kiwi is swarmed by Wolves and can't get on the end of it. Wolves go straight up the other end on the counter as Lima is played in down the right, but his ball across the face of goal comes to nothing!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:43

Forest lost 3-2 to Brentford in their opening league match of 2024 – they’ve not lost their first league game in consecutive calendar years since 2006/2007 while a League One side, and Nuno Espirito Santo's Reds are an entirely different proposition these days.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:41

The hosts take a quick goal-kick after a cross-field ball towards Aina comes to nothing, and come away down the left through Rodrigo Gomes and Ait-Nouri. The latter cross from the edge of the box, but scuffs his effort and sends it straight behind for a goal-kick at the other end!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:39

Each of the last four Premier League meetings between Forest and Wolves have ended in a draw – Forest last drew five consecutive league games against a single opponent v Rotherham between 2003 and 2005, while Wolves last did so against Newcastle from 2019 to 2021.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:37

VAR have a good look over the handball from Ait-Nouri, but eventually judge that the Algerian's arm was in a natural position and so no Forest spot-kick will be given.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:36

Aina surges down the right and into the box before crossing, but his cutback hits Ait-Nouri on the arm as the Forest players demand a penalty!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:35

Wolves' first corner of the match is cleared but swung back in towards Bueno in the middle, however the centre-back's looping header goalwards is easiyl caught by Sels on his line.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:32

SAVED!!! What a stop to keep Wolves at bay!! Rodrigo Gomes whips another ball into the middle and this time it is met by Strand Larsen, but the Norwegian's header from point-blank range hits an unmoved Sels to somehow stay out of the net!!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:32

Yellow Card Nicolás Martín Domínguez

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:30

Wolves turn possession over high up the pitch and Rodrigo Gomes is played into crossing space down the left, but his ball in for Strand Larsen is headed well clear by Murillo in the middle.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:29

Gibbs-White and Elanga combine down the right flank again and the latter crosses from the byline. It's teed up for Dominguez to strike, but even after his effort is blocked Forest remain on the attack with plenty of numbers in the final third.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:27

A heavy touch from Murillo gifts the ball straight to Hwang and allows the Wolves forward to burst into the box, but the South Korean goes for goal from an improbable angle and fires well wide with his left foot.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:25

Forest still lead 1-0, and have now have scored the first goal in 16 of their 20 Premier League games this season, more than any other side.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:24

Elanga cuts the ball back from Dominguez on the edge of the area, but he can only send a first-time strike up and over the bar from 20 yards.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:23

CHANCE!!! Lima's deep cross from the right is met by Strand Larsen in the box, but he can't quite time his first-time finish properly and skews it into the waiting gloves of Sels!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:22

This time a Forest free-kick is swung into Wolves' box by Dominguez, but Sa comes right off his line to punch the ball clear from just inside the 18-yard line.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:21

A Wolves cross into the area from a deep free-kick strikes Hudson-Odoi and sparks handball shouts from the home crowd, but the referee waves play on and the replays justify his decision.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:19

SAVED!!! Rodrigo Gomes is picked out by Doherty's glorious cross-field pass, and the ball sits up nicely for him to smash goalwards, only for Sels to parry it over the bar at full stretch!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:18

OFF THE LINE!!! Anderson cheaply gifts possession to Hwang and he drives into the area before cutting back onto his right foot. He picks out Strand Larsen right in the middle. but his finish from right in front is blocked off the line by Murillo!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:17

Yellow Card Elliot Junior Anderson

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:17

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:15

Gibbs-White has now had a hand in six goals in his last six Premier League appearances with three goals and assists apiece, one more than in his previous 17!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:08

Doyle sends a pass down the right-hand channel for Lima to chase, but Williams gets there first for Forest and slides in to clear.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:03

Wolves start brightly and Joao Gomes whips a diagonal ball into the box, but Lima can't quite get there as Sels collects for Forest.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:03

Forest kick the game off through Dominguez, and we're up and running in this Premier League Midlands derby!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

20:01

Unsurprisingly ahead of this battle between the east and west Midlands, it’s Forest who are being heavily backed to win this one in our live probability tracker. The Reds lead the way on a 46.1% chance of victory, but Wolves – on just 27.4% – will be hoping home advantage can help them continue their strong run of form as the two sides head out onto the pitch at Molineux!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

19:47

The visitors, meanwhile, make two changes as two key men return in the form of Brazilian centre-back Murillo and England winger Callum Hudson-Odoi, with Morato and Ramon Sosa on the bench as Forest look to make it six Premier League wins in a row.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

19:47

Vitor Pereira makes five changes to the side which drew 2-2 with Spurs as Wolves look to get back to winning ways, as right wing-back Pedro Lima makes his Premier League debut. Rodrigo Gomes is on the opposite flank as Tommy Doyle joins the midfield, with Goncalo Guedes and Jorgen Strand Larsen coming into the front three as talismanic number 10 Matheus Cunha is banned for two matches.

Forest, however, are arguably the Premier League’s most in-form team and sit third, having won their last five matches in a row and collecting clean sheets in each of their last three. Everton were easily dispatched 2-0 last time out, with former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo looking to take his Tricky Trees side level on points with Arsenal in second.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

19:36

Sat 17th in the table and only above the relegation zone by goal difference, Wolves have had an uptick in form since Vitor Pereira replaced Gary O’Neil in the dugout.
