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

That's all from today's match at Selhurst Park, and from this season in the Premier League!
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
18:33
In the end today could have meant more after both sides experienced periods of anxiety over their Premier League status this year. They will be pleased to have got to the final day with safety confirmed. There will also be uncertainty for both over the summer, with it being no secret that Forest's squad will likely be pruned to some extent, and Palace's managerial position remains unresolved now that Hodgson has seen out his short-term deal.

18:30
The match ends 1-1 between Palace and Forest as the pair both end the season on a decent note at Selhurst Park. The hosts dominated for much of the game, and would have led but for an unfortunate block by Ayew denied Eze. Awoniyi opened the scoring against the run of play courtesy of a lovely assist by Gibbs-White before smart work by Johnstone just after kept it at 1-0. The second-half was quieter, but Palace found a spark through Olise, who fed Hughes superbly for the equaliser. Eze came close again in stoppage-time, but Hennessey was equal to his volley to keep the score even.

Awoniyi, starved of the ball so far this half, does brilliantly to earn a corner on the right wing.

Despite the score it's Forest who make a half-time change. Toffolo comes on for Lodi at left-back.
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
17:30
Possession, 66% of it, hasn't been enough for Palace, so Hodgson will need something to change in the second half. Mateta off the bench could be an attractive option. Whereas for Steve Cooper, more of the same will be the message. Forest have been solid in defence, and Awoniyi looks full of confidence on the break.

A conflicting half for the hosts ends with Palace 1-0 down to Forest, despite being largely the better side besides Awoniyi's goal. Eze had the only real early chance, as he fired wide following Olise's free kick. The newly called-up England man come even closer when his close-range effort was stopped from going in by Ayew's legs. Palace were made to pay seconds later when Awoniyi ran through and outsmarted Johnstone to open the scoring. He would have had another but for good work by Johnstone this time, to take the ball off Awoniyi's head a yard out. Palace fought back but Edouard's header wide was never too dangerous, before the hosts ran in one down at the break.

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.

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.

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.
