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.TOTTENHAM MUST do without Les Ferdinand who was carried off during their FA Cup fifth-round replay victory against Leeds on Wednesday. He was concussed, as he was against Middlesbrough last Saturday, and is likely to be replaced by Chris Armstrong. Defender Ramon Vega is likely to shake off the effects of an ankle knock with George Graham's only other absentee being John Scales.
Derby are likely to field 10 of the side that beat Huddersfield in the FA Cup on Wednesday. Only the suspended captain Igor Stimac will miss out. Jacob Laursen is back after serving a one-match ban and Spencer Prior could also return to the defence after missing the Cup tie because of a family illness.
Darryl Powell injured his neck in training this week so is not available for the first of two trips in eight days to north London for Derby. Their last win at White Hart Lane was in November 1989.
