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.

Some crucial clashes coming up at both ends of the table in the 3pm games.

Southampton in 16th play Cardiff in 18th, with the hosts looking to rise to 13th with a win over the Bluebirds.

Liverpool can get back to winning ways against Bournemouth to go top of the table after Man City closed the gap by beating Everton in midweek.

It's also 8th vs 9th as Watford face Everton, while Palace in 14th, who welcome back Wilfried Zaha, host London rivals West Ham in 12th.
