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.FOUR FOOTBALL matches this week appeal as useful material to include in some trebles. It is difficult to understand why Manchester United are clear favourites to beat the smart Brazilian club Palmeiras in the World Club Cup in Japan today. The South American outfit look sure to give a good account and it is not hard to envisage the game ending in deadlock.
Knockout games provide good draw material and tomorrow night struggling Aston Villa may fail to dispatch Southampton, who put up a spirited display against Leeds on Sunday, in 90 minutes in the fourth round of the Worthington Cup at Villa Park. Meanwhile, at Craven Cottage, the useful First Division outfit Fulham could contain Premiership Tottenham to a draw in 90 minutes.
On Thursday, Leeds will go home happy if they secure a draw in their rearranged third-round Uefa Cup tie with Spartak Moscow in Sofia.
n Suggested bets: Four x pounds 1 trebles with Ladbrokes: Manchester United to draw with Palmeiras (11-5); Aston Villa to draw with Southampton (12- 5); Fulham to draw with Tottenham (9-4); Spartak Moscow to draw with Leeds (12-5). (pounds 4 staked).
