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.The Norwegian international Ole Bjorn Sundgot, who partnered Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Molde, and Swedish duo Robert Stiener, a striker from Norrkoping, and Magnus Pehrsson, a midfielder from Djurgaardens, go straight into the reckoning for Bradford City's bottom of the First Division meeting with Oldham at Valley Parade today.
City slid to 23rd after losing 4-0 at home to Crystal Palace on Tuesday and will find themselves bottom if Oldham follow their 3-0 midweek win at Grimsby with another victory.
Bolton - three points ahead of Norwich at the top - have doubts over striker Nathan Blake (ankle) and Gudni Bergsson (thigh) for the visit of Huddersfield, who give a second start to Simon Davies, on loan from Manchester United.
Norwich entertain fourth-bottom Charlton while third-placed Crystal Palace visit Tranmere. Swindon, in 10th, play Manchester City, who could come up against their former player Steve McMahon, now player-manager of the Wiltshire club.
The Second Division leaders, Brentford, now only a point clear after they slumped 2-1 at Bristol Rovers and nearest rivals Millwall beat Blackpool by the same score in midweek, visit Watford, while Walsall visit The Den. And in the Third Division Fulham will seek a 13th victory in 17 games at the expense of Lincoln at Craven Cottage, while second-placed Cambridge go to Hull.
The country's bottom club, Brighton, are banning supporters from buying tickets for the main stand at the Goldstone Ground in a bid to deal with mounting crowd unrest. The restrictions will come into force for the visit of Mansfield next Saturday.
