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.

Chelsea 1-1 Stoke City

Chelsea hitting back as Costa forces (another) save from Grant. Not been the Spaniard's day...yet

GOAL - Burnley 2-0 Sunderland

Gray at the double for Burnley - how impressive are they at home! If they do stay up this season - and it looks like they will - it will be down to their home form.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 16:11

GOAL - Burnley 3-0 Sunderland

Hat-trick for Gray - game over.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 16:13

GOAL - Chelsea 2-1 Stoke City

Order is restored at Stamford Bridge as Willian restores Chelsea's lead, a great finish with the ball on the bounce.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 16:15

GOAL - Chelsea 2-2 Stoke City

Peter Crouch scores! Stoke are level for the second time. Crouch's first Premier League goal for 18 months.

GOAL - Chelsea 3-2 Stoke City

As you were. Willian drills into the roof of the net and Chelsea lead for a third time.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 16:21

Man Utd 0-0 Middlesbrough

Goals everywhere else but Mourinho's men are being held at Old Trafford. It's wave after wave of attacks from United though - surely the breakthrough must be coming?

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 16:24

GOAL - Man Utd 0-1 Middlesbrough

Wow. United have been the better side but it's Middlesbrough who take the lead through Grant Leadbitter.

Mark Critchley31 December 2016 16:25

GOAL - Burnley 4-0 Sunderland

Ashley Barnes converts a penalty. Miserable day for Sunderland.
