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.Jose Mourinho has made three changes to the Chelsea team that beat Norwich City at the weekend.
The Blues face Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel tonight, a team that have won their Premier League for the last three successive seasons.
But they have been the whipping boys in Group G so far, failing to pick up a point in any of their four matches - they have only scored one goal, joint worst in the Champions League this season and conceded a joint worst 11 goals.
Mourinho has opted to change three of the back four that kept a clean sheet against the Canaries at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
That was the first time Chelsea had stopped their opponents scoring in five matches, their previous clean sheet coming in the 0-0 draw with Dynamo Kiev on 20 October.
Branislav Ivanovic is replaced by Cesar Azpilicueta on the right, Gary Cahill comes in for Kurt Zouma at centre-back and Baba Rahman gets another chance to impress on the left, in place of Kenedy.
CHELSEA: Begovic, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Terry, Baba Rahman, Fabregas, Matic, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Diego Costa
SUBS: Blackman, Ivanovic, Zouma, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Remy
