From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Brendan Rodgers and Sean Dyche have both named unchanged teams for the match at Turf Moor this afternoon.

That means Liverpool will continue with the 3-4-3 formation that saw them draw at home to Arsenal last week, thanks to a late equaliser from Martin Skrtel.

Raheem Sterling continues to operate as a lone striker - or 'false 9' - with Rickie Lambert consigned to the bench.

Burnley will look to improve on an impressive display at White Hart Lane, where they were only beaten by a brilliant Erik Lamela strike.

Burnley: Heaton, Trippier, Shackell, Keane, Mee; Arfield, Jones, Marney, Boyd; Barnes, Ings.

Subs: Gilks, Long, Kightly, Wallace, Reid, Jutkiewicz, Vokes.

Liverpool: Jones, Toure, Skrtel, Sakho, Henderson, Lucas, Gerrard, Markovic, Coutinho, Lallana, Sterling.

Subs: Mignolet, Lambert, Moreno, Manquillo, Can, Balotelli, Ojo.
