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.

Bournemouth welcome Swansea to the Vitality Stadium with both teams in desperate need of all three points.

The visitors sit just three points above the relegation zone with the hosts only a further three clear above them.

Neither are out of the woods with both very much looking over the shoulders as the season reaches the home straight.

That's all for today in the Premier League, but the action hasn't stopped for the weekend. There's three more fixtures to get stuck into tomorrow including Manchester City versus Liverpool and Tottenham against Southampton. It starts at noon, however, with Middlesbrough's home match with Manchester United, and James Marriner will be on hand with all the news as it happens. Until then, thanks for following this blog today and enjoy the rest of your evening.
