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.QPR vs Stoke City is the first match of the weekend and can be seen on BT Sport 1 at 12.45pm on Saturday.
Both teams are looking to kick-start their season with Stoke on four points after four games and QPR on three. Harry Redknapp will know these sorts of home games are just the sort his side must win if they are to retain their Premier League status.
There are four 3pm kick-offs on Saturday, none of which can or are being shown on television. Which means the next Premier League match on TV is West Ham vs Liverpool at 5.30pm. That match at Upton Park can be seen on Sky Sports 1.
On Sunday there are four Premier League matches, two of which are on TV. The first is newly promoted Leicester City vs Manchester United at 1.30pm on Sky Sports 1. The Foxes haven't beaten United since 1998 when Tony Cottee scored the winner, but with Louis van Gaal's new signings still bedding in, the home side will be hoping to cause an upset. Radamel Falcao is in line to make his first start.
The afternoon match is the stand-out tie of the weekend - Manchester City vs Chelsea at 4pm on Sky Sports 1. The game at the Etihad sees the two title favourites come face-to-face. Manuel Pellegrini will be hoping things go better than last season when his team were beaten home and away in the league by Jose Mourinho's side.
