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.

Maurizio Sarri makes his competitive debut as Chelsea manager as they take on Huddersfield Town on the opening weekend of the Premier League, with four games kicking-off at 3pm.

Chelsea will attempt to keep pace with Manchester United after they beat Leicester City on Friday night, but all eyes will be on their news manager Sarri as well as summer signing Jorginho who followed the manager from Napoli.

Two of the promoted clubs are also in action as Fulham take on Crystal Palace and Cardiff City travel to Bournemouth, while Watford host Brighton and Hove Albion. In the day’s late game, Wolves host a new-look Everton side at Molineux as the return to the top flight.

Right that's the team news sorted...excited to have four games to follow as the Premier League comes back with a bang? We'll have all the goals, cards and key moments if you're struggling to keep tabs on all the games at once.

Plenty to play for today with two of the Premier League new boys kicking off at 3pm, and returning clubs assessing how their new signings will settle in.

Penny for the thoughts of Maurizio Sarri right now? Against a tricky Huddersfield Town side it feels as though they have everything to lose. It's a debut for Kepa in goal and all eyes will be on him as he fills the boots of Thibaut Courtois.

The teams are walking out across the country as we are just a moment away from our 3pm kick offs. I feel like a kid at Christmas...

KICK OFF: The 3pm's are underway, stay right here for all of the action and goals as they go in

We all remember the poor start to the season Crystal Palace made last time around, and they face tricky opposition in Fulham, who have had an impressive transfer window and are building a head of steam early on at Craven Cottage.
