Follow live coverage as AFC Bournemouth 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 Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.

The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.

Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland 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:

AFC Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest

Bournemouth emerge as comfortable victors in this Premier League fixture as they deservedly beat Nottingham Forest 2-0. First-half goals from Tavernier and Kroupi were enough for the Cherries to secure all three points and to move second in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest remain in the relegation zone at present, still searching for a first away win of the league season. Bournemouth began proceedings with intent, attacking from the off and beginning on the front foot. They tested Sels on several occasions, with the keeper proving equal to the task, that is, until the 25th minute when his error gifted the hosts the lead. A Tavernier corner found its way straight into the net as the keeper flapped at the ball before it made its way under the bar to make it 1-0. Bournemouth would control proceedings in the first half as they piled on the pressure, and in the 40th minute, they would make it 2-0 as a long-distance Kroupi effort would dip into the bottom left-hand corner past the hapless Sels. The hosts would push for more before the interval but would be unable to find a way through. Forest would improve in the second half but would be unable to find a way through Bournemouth. There were not many chances of note for either side after the interval apart from the Forest captain’s shot, and Bournemouth would move to second in the Premier League. A deserved victory, having created 13 chances through the match, with five of those on target, giving them an xG of 0.59. They also limited Forest to an xG of 0.35 from their four shots on target, having a total of eight. Bournemouth will now prepare for a trip to Manchester City next weekend. Meanwhile, Forest will look to find a way out of the relegation zone beginning next week with their home game against Manchester United.

A perfect counter attack from Bournemouth apart from the finish. Semenyo carried the ball from defence to the opposition half before playing the ball across the pitch to Brooks. The Welsh international slips the ball forward to Christie through the heart of the Forest defence and he tries to flick the ball back; however, his teammates were not on the same wave length as there was nobody there to finish it off and Forest clear from the edge of their penalty area.
