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.

It was a fantastic weekend of Premier League football, typified by Norwich’s shock 3-2 against Manchester City.

Liverpool took full advantage of City’s slip by beating Newcastle 3-1 at home, extending their perfect record to five from five.

Wolves shipped five goals at home to Chelsea, and fellow top six hopefuls Leicester failed to break down Manchester United and lost 1-0 at Old Trafford.

On Sunday, Watford took advantage of a defensively vulnerable Arsenal to come back to draw from two goals down, and Bournemouth comfortably beat Everton 3-1 at Dean Court.

But which players impressed enough to be included in our Premier League team of the week? Find out below...

Is there anyone we’ve missed out?
