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.

47mins: Much better start from City. Sterling ties Andy Robertson in knots on the right flank before floating a cross over Marshall's head, but no City player was there to tap it home. 

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:19

48mins: De Bruyne whips a teasing low cross into Sterling but the England winger completely fluffs his lines before being ruled offside. 

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:21

50mins: Handball not given! Clichy seemed to block Snodgrass' cross with his arm but referee Robert Madley decided against awarding Hull a penalty. 

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:23

52mins: Chance of the match for Hull! A long, flat Huddlestone free-kick goes over Kolarov's head and falls to Maguire on the volley but his effort loops over the bar. 

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:25

54mins: De Bruyne hits the post for City! The Belgium midfielder's curler cannons off the upright from 20 yards out. Marshall had no chance!

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:28

58mins: Two chances for Michael Dawson! The defender has one header deflected wide from a free-kick and then another cleared off the line by Bacary Sagna. Too close for comfort for City!

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:32

62mins: Mbokani is leading the line for Hull and leading by example too. The forward is making life very difficult for Otamendi and Kolarov. 

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:35

66mins: City may not be at their best but they're always a threat with De Bruyne on the pitch. The midfielder links up with Silva and then fires just wide of the post from 12 yards out. 

Jack de Menezes26 December 2016 18:40

69mins: If Hull are to nick a winner here, it'll most likely come from Mbokani taking the game to Kolarov. The makeshift centre back is struggling with the Congo international's physicality at the moment.
