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.On the back of a 7-0 win over non-league Gateshead in the FA Cup last weekend, Tony Pulis takes charge of his first league game as West Bromwich Albion boss as Hull City travel to The Hawthorns.
Having steered Crystal Palace to safety last season, the hope is that Pulis will do the same at West Brom, who have slumped to 17th in the table, losing seven of their last 10 games.
Top scorer Saido Berahino will look to add to his tally of 13 goals this season, one of which came when the two sides met in the Capital One Cup back in September.
Steve Bruce shuffled his pack at the weekend as Hull lost in a repeat of last year’s FA Cup final against Arsenal, and will hope key players return fresher as the Tigers seek to build on an excellent win over Everton on New Year’s Day.
Hull themselves are by no means clear of danger, sitting just two points clear of the relegation zone, but a third away win of the season would give them breathing space and provide a real statement of intent.
