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.Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has made just one change for the title decider against Crystal Palace.
If the Blues beat the Eagles they will win the fifth title in their history and their first since Carlo Ancelotti won the Double in 2010.
Thibaut Courtois coming in for Petr Cech is the only change to the Chelsea team that produced an excellent second-half display against Leicester in midweek.
For Crystal Palace, Alan Pardew has made four changes to the team that lost to Hull City 2-0 last week.
Adrian Mariappa, Jordon Mutch, Joel Ward and Joe Ledley come in for the Eagles.
UPDATE: Chelsea midfielder Ramires was injured in the warm-up at Stamford Bridge - Jose Mourinho turns to Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado to start.
