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.Roy Evans, the Liverpool manager, has told his players that he wants a return to the days when English sides thrashed their foreign opposition out of sight.
Evans is setting a target of "as many goals as possible" against the Finnish part-timers MyPa- 47 in today's Cup Winners' Cup first-round first leg tie in Anjalankoski. The club paid for failing to score home or away against Brondby last season, so Evans is aware of the problem of going to Scandinavia.
"We have to score, and score as many goals as we can,'' Evans said. "I suppose one goal would do it but we have to try and win the game away from home, score as many goals as we can and make it comfortable for ourselves when they come to Anfield."
Evans expects to name a full-strength team. Defender Mark Wright has recovered from a knee injury and forwards Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler are showing no ill-effects from their back problems.
