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.

The world's oldest cup competition is back and it promises to be another exciting round of ties.

Manchester United are safely though after seeing off Yeovil on Friday night but there are 12 more FA Cup ties this afternoon with plenty of Premier League interest.

We will have all the latest news and updates from around the grounds right here.

Liverpool 1-2 West Brom

31' - Mo Salah rounds Ben Foster but takes the ball a little too close to the byline to be able to get a decent shot away. Instead, the Egyptian opts to turn around and knock the ball back to Roberto Firmino, whose shot is blocked at point-blank range by Jonny Evans.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-3 West Brom (Matip OG)

45+2' - West Brom double their lead and it's Joel Matip who turns the ball into his own net from Craig Dawson's scuffed volley.

In fairness, if Matip hadn't put it in, Jay Rodriguez was just behind him and would've done the honours himself.

West Brom are in dreamland at Anfield!
