Your support helps us to tell the story
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.
Your support makes all the difference.Adam Lallana is expected to be available for Liverpool's clash with bitter rivals Manchester United despite suffering with two cracks ribs for the last 10 days.
It has emerged that the 26-year-old was injured during the win against Leicester City on 2 December, a game in which he scored the equaliser, and needed a pain-killing injection to make it through 67 minutes against Sunderland last weekend.
Lallana was an unused substitute against Basel in the Champions League on Tuesday night, though it is not yet clear whether Brendan Rodgers will start the England man in the match on Sunday.
Rodgers will be without Kolo Toure, Daniel Sturridge, Jon Flanagan and Suso, although Mario Balotelli could be in line to play his first game for Liverpool since the defeat to Chelsea on 8 November.
Louis van Gaal will have up to eight players missing for the game, with Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw, Daley Blind and Phil Jones, definitely out, though Angel Di Maria and Rafael have a chance of being fit in time to play.
