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.

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce is without new striker Andy Carroll for his side's Barclays Premier League clash with Norwich.

Carroll, signed on loan from Liverpool, suffered a hamstring injury on his debut and is likely to be replaced in the starting line-up by Carlton Cole.

Fellow loan signing Yossi Benayoun could make his second debut for the Hammers after joining from Chelsea for the rest of the season.

Jack Collison (knee) is the only other absentee for Allardyce as Matt Jarvis has started training again following a thigh injury that ruled him out over the win over Fulham two weeks ago.

Provisional squad: Jaaskelainen, Henderson, Demel, Tomkins, Collins, Reid, McCartney, O'Brien, Potts, Spence, Diarra, Diame, Noble, Taylor, O'Neil, Nolan, Jarvis, Benayoun, Hall, Vaz Te, Maiga, Cole.
