Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Selhurst Park, home of Crystal Palace Football Club - (Getty Images)

Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace 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:

22:08

Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest share the points in the Premier League with a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park. The opening 45 minutes lacked action, with Munoz and Elanga forcing the only saves of the first half from Sels and Henderson, respectively. After the break, the chances began to flow, with Palace ending the game with an expected goals tally of 2.56 to Forest's 0.71. The Eagles opened the scoring after Mitchell was brought down in the penalty area by Sels. Eze stepped up to the spot, and he dispatched into the corner to give his side the lead. Just a few minutes later, Forest levelled proceedings as Williams' strike from outside the box was turned into the opposite corner by Murillo. Palace looked the more likely to find the winner, with Eze firing against the bar late on before Nketiah's goal was disallowed for offside in added time. It was a fiery affair with 10 yellow cards between the two teams, but just the two goals at Selhurst Park, with the points shared. Up next for Palace is a trip to Tottenham, while Forest will host already relegated Leicester City on Sunday.

Gibbs-White sends a teasing delivery into the box, floating a pass towards Wood. Lacroix heads it up into the air and Wood is looking to get there, but Henderson comes off his line to collect, taking the pressure off for Palace.

22:00

We're now into the ninth minute of added time, but despite only eight being added on, we're expecting a few more. Milenkovic was down injured and required treatment, while there was also a communication issue between the officials, which took a few minutes to resolve.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:57

Another Forest defender is now down injured, and this time it's Milenkovic. The towering centre-back is being treated by the Forest medical team after being struck in the face. Nuno won't want to lose another player at the back.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:56

Close! Forest attempt to clear from a corner as Sels punches away, and it falls to Hughes inside the box on the right-hand side. He sends a dipping half volley towards the far corner, but it's over the bar and behind for a goal-kick.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:55

Munoz plays a one-two with Lerma and gets to the byline before firing a low cross towards the back post. Sels palms it away and it cannons off his own team-mate, but it just about deflects behind for a corner. Hughes will take and he delivers into the middle, but Sels punches away.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:51

Palace have the ball in the net, but it won't count! Eze creates space for himself inside the penalty area, and he fires towards the bottom corner. Nketiah helps to poke it home, firing into the back of the net, but the assistant referee has his flag up. Nketiah was in an offside position.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:50

The fourth official has indicated that there will be a minimum of eight minutes of added time at the end of the game.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:49

Close! Eze is found on the left-hand side, and he cuts inside onto his stronger right foot. He finds space to send a curling strike towards the top corner, but his effort cannons off the bar and away from danger! Sels was beaten!

Williams is the fourth Forest player to be booked after bringing down Munoz as Palace looked to break away.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:34

Palace have shown more dominance in the second half, keeping 56.5% of the possession since the break. Glasner is looking to add something different in attack, as it looks as though Nketiah could be coming off the bench.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:30

Palace win a throw-in on the right-hand side, and Richards is going to launch it into the penalty area. It's right by the corner flag, and Richards sends it to the front post. It's headed away before Sarr eventually does well to win a corner, but it comes to nothing.

Penalty Goal Eberechi Oluchi Eze

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:18

Sels is booked for bringing down Mitchell, resulting in a penalty to Palace.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:18

The referee is heading to the monitor! Sels left a leg out as Mitchell took it past him, and the Forest goalkeeper tripped him up. It looks pretty clear-cut and the referee is being shown the footage. He's made his decision... PENALTY TO PALACE!

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:17

Palace want a penalty! The ball is delivered to the back post, and Mitchell takes a superb touch beyond Sels, and he goes to ground! He had a chance to tap it into an empty net, but it looks as though he's been fouled! The referee says no, but it will no doubt be checked!

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:16

Williams finds himself in space and attempts an ambitious effort from range, but Henderson gets his body behind it and saves. Wharton now appears to be struggling with an injury, but he's going to try and shake it off.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:11

Forest almost go up the other end and score! Nuno's side break away, and the ball falls to Wood inside the penalty area. He takes aim towards the bottom corner and his strike deflects off Lacroix, and it trickles past Henderson's right-hand post! It's end-to-end stuff in the second half.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:10

CHANCE! Eze fires a pass into the feet of Mateta inside the Forest penalty area, and he pokes it to Sarr on the left. He's in space in a dangerous position and strikes at goal, but his shot is saved by Sels! Forest can now counter...

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:08

Anderson fouls Eze, and Palace are awarded a free-kick inside the Forest half. It's played short to Munoz who delivers into the box. Sarr rises above his marker and heads towards goal, but he fails to hit the target as he diverts it wide of the mark.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:05

Eze gets the second half under way for Palace at Selhurst Park!

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

21:02

Palace created 0.52 expected goals (xG) in the first half from nine shots, with just one of those hitting in the target. Forest could only produce 0.39 expected goals from six efforts, with both sides struggling with a lack of creativity in the final third. According to Opta's live win probability calculator, Palace have a 38.2% chance of winning from here, with a draw at 36.2% and a Forest victory at 25.6%. Both managers will be asking for more from their sides, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see some early changes after the break. Glasner could turn to the youthfulness of Franca or Esse, while Nuno may look to add another creative outlet in Jota or Sosa.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:59

Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest go into the break with the scoreline level at 0-0 at Selhurst Park. It's been a game of minimal chances, with both sides testing the opposition goalkeeper just once with a shot on target. Palace's best opportunity of the game came as Mitchell burst down the left-hand side. His delivery found the opposite wing-back, with Munoz striking on the volley at the back post, but Sels made a smart save to deny him. Late in the half, Forest broke through the middle of the pitch as Dominguez carried the ball towards the Palace box. He picked out Wood who found Elanga in space on the edge, and he got it out of his feet before striking, but Henderson dived to his right to keep it out.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:49

HALF-TIME: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-0 NOTTINGHAM FOREST

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:48

The fourth official has indicated that there will be a minimum of one minute of added time at the end of the first half.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:46

Best chance of the game so far! Forest break away at pace as Dominguez drives through the middle. He pokes through to Wood, who instantly finds Elanga just outside the box. He fires towards Henderson, but the Palace goalkeeper makes an important save to deny him!

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:46

As we edge closer to half-time, we've seen just one shot on target between the two sides, despite there being a combined 13 efforts. Nuno and Glasner will be asking for more from their respective teams when it comes to the final third.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:43

It's now Forest's turn to try and create something from a free-kick, and it's Gibbs-White who will deliver this time. It's crossed to the back post and Anderson strikes on the volley, but he hits it straight into the side netting. Wood went down in the middle under a challenge from Munoz, but the referee says no.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:41

It's a free-kick to Palace after some great work from Sarr. He turns superbly and gets away from the Forest midfield, but Sangare brings him down, and he's perhaps fortunate to avoid a yellow card. Eze will deliver for Palace and he crosses to the right, but Wood gets up to head behind for a corner.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:37

Saved! Mitchell bursts down the left-hand side, and he sends a dangerous cross to the back post. Munoz arrives unmarked and volleys towards goal with his left foot, but Sels gets down low to make an excellent stop. The effort was fairly central, but Sels reacted well to keep it out!

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:36

Wharton gives it away and it's a chance for Forest to break. Elanga drives down the left-hand side and gets to the byline, but Lacroix is there to stand him up. The Palace defender ushers him back towards his own goal, and Elanga eventually passes back to the halfway line. The Palace supporters voice their appreciation for that piece of defending.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:33

Williams receives the ball on the left-hand side, and he cuts back onto his right before delivering into the box. Dominguez makes a smart run and he's in behind the Palace defence. He only needs to glance it on towards goal, but he gets too much on it and heads back in the direction of his own goal.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:31

Forest win a free-kick in a dangerous position, deep inside the Palace half on the left-hand side. It looks as though Gibbs-White will take and he does, but he plays it short to Anderson. The former Newcastle man delivers to the back post, but it's a poor cross and it's straight behind for a goal-kick.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:28

Anderson launches a ball down the right-hand side for Gibbs-White, and he gets to the byline before firing a cross to the back post. Elanga is there waiting, but Munoz produces a clever header to somehow divert it away from danger. Forest are starting to gain some control here.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:27

Gibbs-White is found in space, just outside the Palace penalty area, and he looks to drive into the box. He drags it past Lacroix, but the defender recovers well to win it back for the Eagles.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:24

Mateta does well to use his strength before getting to the byline and delivers towards the back post. Williams heads away, but only as far as Eze. He has time to bring it under, but he fails to take it under control and Forest can clear.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:23

Elanga turns well before running at the Palace defence. He finds Williams on the left-hand side, and Forest have bodies in the box, but he shanks his cross out of play for a goal-kick. There's been a lack of quality from both sides in the final third so far.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:21

Close! There's a big mix-up at the back as Mitchell attempts to head it into the arms of Henderson. He gets it all wrong, but the Palace goalkeeper somehow prevents an own goal with his feet before Lacroix can clear from danger. It was smart reflexes from Henderson, who reacted quickly to keep it out.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:18

Palace have looked the more threatening in the final third so far, producing six shots, with five of those coming from inside the box. The Eagles are yet to test Sels with a shot on target, however, with both keepers yet to make a save.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:14

Kamada attempts a long-range strike, but it's deflected behind for a corner. Wharton will take and he crosses to the front post. There's a goalmouth scramble as Richards almost pokes home, but Forest just about manage to clear away from danger.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:12

It's another throw-in for Palace and an opportunity for Richards to send it into the box. He launches it to the front post, but it's headed away. Mitchell eventually sends it back into the penalty area, but Sels comes off his line to collect.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:09

Palace look to break away through Sarr as he drives into the Forest half, but Dominguez drags him down. The referee quickly issues the first yellow card of the game.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:08

Palace win a throw-in, deep inside the Forest half, and Richards will launch it into the box. Guehi wins the initial header, and Wharton is there to strike, but his effort is deflected away. It eventually falls to Lacroix, who fires low and hard, but he hits it into the side netting.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:05

Anderson is picked out on the edge of the penalty area, and he takes a touch before unleashing with his right, but his effort is blocked. It comes to Aina and he attempts an ambitious strike from range, but once again, Palace get enough bodies in front of the shot.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

20:02

Dominguez gets the game under way for Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park!

19:53

Meanwhile, Nuno has made two alterations from Forest's 2-0 defeat against Brentford last week. Callum Hudson-Odoi misses out due to a hamstring injury, while Yates takes his place among the substitutes. Sangare and Dominguez come into the starting XI.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

19:53

Unsurprisingly, Glasner has named an unchanged XI from the team that beat Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final. The Eagles will be hoping to continue their momentum as they prepare to face Manchester City in the final later this month.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest have won nine away Premier League matches this season and have only won 10 top-flight away matches in a season on three occasions – in 1977-78 (finished 1st), 1978-79 (2nd) and 1994-95 (3rd). Nuno Espirito Santo's side have won two of their last three away Premier League games in London (L1), as many as they did across their previous 23 trips to the capital combined (W2 D5 L16). Forest are looking to win three away games in London in a season for the second time in the Premier League, also doing so in 1994-95. A win today would see them go level on points with Newcastle United in fourth place.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

19:37

Crystal Palace have only won one of their last 14 league meetings with Nottingham Forest (D6 L7) and are winless in eight (D5 L3) since a 1-0 win in the Championship in December 2011. The Eagles are winless in their last four Premier League matches (D2 L2), last having a longer run when going eight without a win at the start of this season. Oliver Glasner's side conceded 14 Premier League goals in April, the most of any team. It was their joint-most in a single month in Premier League history, also shipping 14 in December 2020.
