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.

EXTRA TIME beckons. Tottenham, whose last five league games have all ended in stalemates, may be held to a draw in 90 minutes by Leeds in their FA Cup replay at White Hart Lane tomorrow night.

Spurs are an improved side under George Graham but, after a couple of league disappointments, Leeds have bounced back with victories at Aston Villa and at home to Everton.

Blackburn may also be held to a draw in 90 minutes by Newcastle at Ewood Park. Blackburn were woeful when going down 4-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, but Newcastle were not much better in losing 2-1 to Southampton at The Dell.

First Division Huddersfield, although held 0-0 by Tranmere at home on Saturday, could force premiership Derby into a draw in 90 minutes at Pride Park. Derby looked poor when losing 1-0 at home to Charlton on Saturday.

Finally, Arsenal should make short work of Sheffield United at Highbury tonight. The Blades deserved a draw in their controversial 2-1 defeat in the first game but the Gunners - following their 5-0 win over Leicester - can make class count.
