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.Chelsea travel to Schalke this evening as the Blues take on the manager who masterminded their famous Champions League final triumph in Munich two years ago.
Former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo has said however that he is not motivated by revenge after he was sacked just a few months after winning the trophy that Roman Abramovich most sought.
While Chelsea are still unbeaten in all competitive matches so far this season, since Di Matteo took the helm at Schalke last month he has managed a 100% home record and if his German side beat Jose Mourinho's men, they will draw level on points with the Blues in Group G.
Chelsea will hope to contain Schalke starman Julian Draxler, a player both Arsenal and Manchester United have been keen to sign.
Chelsea will hope to recover from their disappointing draw at Stamford Bridge against Schalke earlier in the competition and will hope they can repeat their 3-0 away win in the tournament last year.
