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.Brendan Rodgers had made eight changes from his Liverpool side that started against Manchester United last weekend for their opening Europa League game against Bordeaux tonight.
Divock Origi makes his first Liverpool start, while midfielder Adam Lallana recovers from a thigh problem to take his place in the XI.
In the absence of both Jordan Henderson and James Milner, the Mamadou Sakho also captains the team against their Ligue 1 opponents.
Rodgers said before the game: "It's the same [pressure] as it has ever been and probably what I've had for the last year or so," he said.
"I don't think it has increased at all. It is the pressure which comes with managing a great club.
"It says everything that you lose a couple of games and that pressure comes, but I've always embraced and enjoyed that.
"Nothing has changed in that way. I just need to concentrate on getting the team right.
"Pressure is something which is part and parcel of being manager of this club."
Liverpool team: Mignolet, Gomez, Toure, Sakho, Rossiter, Can, Ibe, Moreno, Lallana, Coutinho, Origi.
Substitutes: Bogdan, Randall, Cleary, Chirivella, Brannagan, Firmino, Ings.
