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.

Happy Sunday and welcome to our live coverage of the FA Cup third round.

Philippe Coutinho and his £142m transfer to Barcelona is the talk of football off the pitch but there's a great happening on it on Sunday with three Premier League sides in action in four more ties.

Saturday saw a shock at Coventry and a surprise at Bournemouth while Manchester City also survived a scare. What will happen next?

We will be across all the thrills, spills, goals and action throughout the afternoon right here.

31' - Great strike.

Declan Rice is closed down as he attempts to make a clearance and the ball only travels as far as Omar Beckles, who takes a touch before volleying a powerful shot just over Joe Hart's crossbar.

35' - Matt Sadler tests Joe Hart from close range but the West Ham goalkeeper makes a smart save down to his left to deny the defender. 

That's the best chance of the match so far.

Liam Corless7 January 2018 14:36

37' - Joe Hart is put to the test again - this time by Alex Rodman - but the Hammers goalkeeper makes another decent stop down to his left.

Shrewsbury have dominated the last 10 minutes of this game.

Shaun Whalley is challenged by Cheikhou Kouyate

43' - We're a couple of minutes away from half-time here and the game remains level at 0-0.

It's been a pretty drab opening period but can one of these two teams provide a moment of quality to take the lead before the interval?

Liam Corless7 January 2018 14:46

45' - We'll have a minimum of three additional minutes at the end of this first half.

Half-time - Shrewsbury 0-0 West Ham

The half-time whistle goes and we are level at the break.

Abumere Ogogo of Shrewsbury Town and Javier Hernandez of West Ham United battle for the ball during the first half

46' - We are back underway in Shrewsbury!

Liam Corless7 January 2018 15:05

51' - Little to report on in the early stages of this second half.

Alex Rodman had a decent run a couple of minutes ago but delayed getting his shot away and Shrewsbury's attack eventually fizzled out.

Liam Corless7 January 2018 15:11

56' - Shrewsbury have played the majority of this second half with 10 men.

Matt Sadler is currently in the treatment room having a head injury seen to.
