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.

The last day of Premier League action in 2016 begins with six 3.00pm kick-offs.

Manchester United will be confident of picking up their fifth straight league win when Aitor Karanka's Middlesbrough arrive at Old Trafford, while runaway leaders Chelsea will pick up their 13th consecutive victory if they beat Stoke City at Stamford Bridge.

In the single evening kick-off, two old Bundesliga rivals, Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, renew acquaintances as Liverpool face Manchester City at Anfield.

61 mins: Pressure from City now and Liverpool are stretched. De Bryune tries to clip a cross to the back post but it's cleared by Klaven.

66 mins: Crowd favourite Divock Origi has come on for Jordan Henderson who has picked up an injury. Not entirely sure what's up with the Liverpool captain - suggestions he might just be feeling unwell. Origi has five goals in his last seven games...

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 18:52

68 mins: Just over 20 minutes to go at Anfield. Liverpool, it must be said, have been disjointed in the last 15 minutes or so. City seeing much more of the ball and doing more with it - but can they find an equaliser?

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 18:56

70 mins: Origi wins a corner for Liverpool at the Kop end. Liverpool clear.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 18:56

72 mins: City back on the front foot, as they have been for much of the second half. Sterling lofts the ball forward for Aguero to chase but again Liverpool's defence stands firm.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 18:59

73 mins: And now Liverpool come forward. Milner thinks he's won a corner kick off Toure but the referee disagrees and it's a goal-kick.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 19:00

75 mins: Can is booked for a foul on Sterling just inside the Liverpool half. The last five minutes have been scrappy with both sides mis-placing passes. 

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 19:02

76 mins: Sterling's cross is cleared but Can concedes another corner. Constant City pressure now. Liverpool clear the corner but the away side have it again.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 19:03

78 mins: City have had 74 per cent possession in the last 10 minutes. And Anfield is nervous.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 19:04

80 mins: Another corner to City, won by De Bruyne. Milner thumps it away. Liverpool just cannot keep the ball.
