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.

The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.

Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight and it’s the Blades who host the Hatters this afternoon, both in the bottom three.

United are rock bottom, nine points taken from 18 games so far and only two wins - one fewer than the visitors, who sit 18th, three points above the Blades ahead of kick-off. Neither team can move out of the bottom three with victory on the day but they must start picking up points fast if they want a shot at survival.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Luton have won three of their last five league games on Boxing Day, having been winless in seven such matches before this. Can they hold on to make it four in six?

SAVED!!!! Ben Slimane and Osula combine in the box with a variety of headers, and the latter unleashes a wild overhead kick from a tight angle which Kaminski does well to get down to and tip wide of his near post!

Sheffield United have scored two own goals in a single Premier League game for the very first time, and have now conceded 16 overall in the final 15 minutes of their games so far this season!
