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.Will Tottenham continue their good start to the year with a win over bitter rivals Arsenal? Will Sean Dyche name the same starting eleven for the tenth game in a row? Will QPR start to prosper without Harry Redknapp? The Independent's Simon Rice and James Orr offer their predictions for this weekend's matches.
Saturday sees two big derbies start and end the day of football: Arsenal travel to neighbours Tottenham in one of the league’s most anticipated matches, never failing to provide goals, red cards and drama. Saturday ends with Liverpool visiting Everton, with Brendan Rodgers’ side hoping to continue their good run of form since Christmas. Elsewhere, Aston Villa will try to end over 10 hours of league football without scoring a goal – unfortunately, leaders Chelsea are the visitors at Villa Park.
