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.Sammy Lee, the Bolton assistant manager, has told his players to savour the special Stade Vélodrome atmosphere tonight and secure a place in the last 16 of the Uefa Cup.
"They are a very passionate crowd in Marseilles - but that is something to enjoy rather than be fearful of," Lee said. "They are a strong side, but I would prefer going there with a 0-0 rather than a 1-1. Marseilles will be fully aware of our potential as well."
The utility player Henrik Pedersen is set to make his first appearance for Bolton in four months. The 30-year-old Dane proved his fitness on Monday with a 45-minute run-out for the reserves, after recovering from an Achilles injury. Pedersen could be on the bench - while El Hadji Diouf, Ivan Campo and Khalilou Fadiga are all ruled out through injury.
Gary Speed looks set to retain his place after a fine display against West Ham United in the FA Cup after a six-week absence with a knee injury. The defender Bruno N'Gotty could return to the side at the expense of Radhi Jaidi after being rested last Saturday.
