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.

Burnley continued their good recent run with a comfortable win at Brighton.

Chris Wood scored twice before Ashley Barnes wrapped up all three points from the spot as the Clarets moved out of the bottom three.

Here's how it played out:

Please allow a moment for the live blog to load.

Just five minutes to go until kickoff. The focus will largely be at Anfield to see how Jurgen Klopp's men react to City's resurgence, but there are a whole load of intriguing battles taking place across the grounds.

The Marco Silva derby takes place at Vicarage Road, while Unai Emery is under similar pressure with his side more defensive than usual at bottom club Huddersfield.

So who will the pressure build on today?

Another new formation from Unai Emery it seems.

2 min: Liverpool 0-0 Bournemouth

Fast start from the visitors, who are denied the lead by Alisson's save from Ryan Fraser's shot after 80 seconds.

4 min: Watford 0-0 Everton

A good chance for the visitors to assert some early pressure, but Gylfi Sigurdsson's 50-yard free-kick is staright into the hands of Ben Foster.

6 min: Southampton 0-0 Cardiff

An emotional afternoon on the south coast for the visitors after the passing of Emiliano Sala, but neither side has taken the initiative so far.

8 min: Liverpool 0-0 Bournemouth

Bournemouth are not holding back here, having two efforts on goal in the opening ten minutes. 

Nothing yet from the hosts.

9 min: Huddersfield 0-0 Arsenal

Jan Siewert's side are well up for this. They have started well in the opening exchanges but the Gunners are looking to pose a threat through Alexandre Lacazette.

10 min: Watford 0-0 Everton

Lively start at Vicarage Road, where Jordan Pickford knows little about it, but he denies Etienne Capoue following the Frenchman's powerful strike from six yards out.
