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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Only goal difference separates these two sides as ninth takes on tenth, both on 17 points, as they look set to battle it out and go a step closer to a top four finish.

Everton will hope to continue an unbeaten run of five games while Tottenham will be looking to build on their last-minute victory over Hull last weekend.

Everton’s joint-top goalscorers this season Romelu Lukaku and Steven Naismith, currently on five goals, will look to continue to add to that tally against a Spurs defence who haven’t kept a clean sheet in five games.

Another must win game for both side but added pressure rests on the shoulders of Maurchio Pochettino as rumours over his future continues to build.
