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.

Manchester United are looking to build on their up-turn in form in the Premier League, as well as their convincing win in the Champions League, when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford.

Manchester City travel to Cardiff City, where they were winners in a feisty FA Cup contest last season, and Liverpool host Southampton.

Crystal Palace are looking to make it back-to-back wins when they host Newcastle United and Leicester City will want to bounce-back against Huddersfield Town after losing heavily against Bournmouth, who travel to Burnley.

Manchester United vs Wolves

Man U 1 - 0 Wolves

The Independent's Mark Critchley gives his take on that Manchester United opener:

"It has come completely against the run of play, but Manchester United lead through Fred's first goal for the club. United could be two down, at least, but so far this has been a retread of plenty of Old Trafford games last season - United create little, David de Gea brilliantly denies their opponents and Jose Mourinho's side suddenly find a breakthrough comes out of nothing."

How about this for longevity?

Cardiff vs Manchester City

Cardiff 0 - 1 Man City

GOAL! for Aguero, City are in front, Bernardo Silve played him the ball from the penalty spot and Aguero twists and fires it home on his 300th appearance for Man City!

Cardiff vs Manchester City

Cardiff 0 - 2 Man City

​GOAL! for Bernardo Silva, back to back goals  for City. Sane plays the ball into the box and Bernardo helps it on it's way the ball looping over the goalkeeper to give City a two goal advantage

Burnley vs Bournemouth

Burnley 1 - 0 Bournemouth

GOAL! for Vydra, that could be vital for Burnley, they've been building good pressure and Westwood's shot is deflected into Vydra path and he sinks it into the back of the net

Burnley vs Bournemouth

Burnley 2 - 0 Bournemouth

GOAL! for Lennon, he scores his first Premier League goal for 2 and a half years, the flight of the ball comes in towards the back post and Lennon traps it and taps it into the net

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle

Still 0-0 between Palace and Newcaslte but Ed Malyon reports that Palace hit the post as Milivojevic's free-kick brushes off Tomkins.

Cardiff vs Manchester City

Cardiff 0 - 3 Man City

GOAL! for Gundogan, 3 goals to the good for Man City now surely that's the game sown up before half-time

Michael Jones22 September 2018 15:45

Liverpool vs Southampton

Liverpool 3 - 0 Southampton

GOAL! for Salah, Shaqiri fires a left footed free kick at the goal and it hits the underside of the bar, Mo Salah follows it up and taps it in to give Liverpool the third goal on the brink of half time.
