Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Spurs will be gunning to return to the top four against Swansea on Sunday after last week’s late reversal at Goodison Park consigned Andre Villas Boas’ side to defeat for the first time in six games.
The Swans, buoyed by their progression into the last four of the Capital One Cup, will look to return to winning ways in the League after Norwich ended their seven match unbeaten run.
Seven of Swansea’s ten league goals away from the Liberty Stadium have been scored in London and will look to take advantage of a Spurs defence which has kept just two clean sheets in the league this term.
