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.

It’s a big game for…

Jack Livermore: Hull are currently going through an injury crisis that makes Arsenal’s squad look hale and healthy in comparison, one consequence of which is that Livermore, a midfielder by trade, has been forced to fill in at centre-back. He did an admirable job of it against Leicester but will no doubt be going through a period of adjustment to his new responsibilities.

Best stat…

Hull have never won at Liberty Stadium throughout all competitions.

Remember when…

Chico Flores scored a ‘hand of god’ style goal for Swansea to deny Hull an away win.

Player to watch…

Gylfi Sigurdsson: Set to make his first start at the Euro’s, the Icelander has to be considered one of the most versatile and gifted midfielders in the Premier League at this point. He is noted in particular for his hard-working attitude and free kick taking ability that is rivalled by few.
