Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

This week, The Independent is counting down through the 100 greatest players ever to grace the Premier League.

We asked all of our sportswriters to rank their greatest players in the history of the league, with each player assigned points before an overall list was then worked out.

In voting for the greatest ever Premier League player, we generally considered a few broad factors: a player’s ability and the actual application of that ability; the consistency of that application; the level they reached; their influence on the competition and – of course – their level of achievement.

Here’s our Chief Football Writer Miguel Delaney explaining exactly what we were looking for, and how the process works.

Each day this week at 10am we will be revealing twenty players, with the winner finally crowned on Friday. We began with numbers 100-81 on Monday and 80-61 on Tuesday.
