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.Mark McGhee, the Wolves manager, believes that the stimulus for visiting teams of performing before a big crowd in the all-seated splendour of Molineux has contributed to his side's run of four successive home defeats. At Maine Road tomorrow, McGhee hopes the boot will be on the other foot.
"It will be strange to face a club whose support is as impressive, if not more impressive, than ours," McGhee said. "I just hope it inspires us in the same way."
City's highest crowd was 29,500 for the visit of Barnsley, and after beating one of the First Division pacesetters, Norwich, in Steve Coppell's first home game as manager, they are confident of topping the 30,000 mark. Coppell, who hopes to sign the Georgian international defender Kakhaber Tskhadadze from Eintracht Frankfurt, has allowed Gerry Creaney to join Ipswich on a month's loan.
Birmingham, who have finalised the pounds 600,000 signing of the Newcastle midfielder Chris Holland, had a noisy 25,000-plus crowd against Bradford City last Saturday, reward for the shrewd gesture of slashing prices for a mundane-looking fixture. With a more obviously attractive game against Norwich today, it will be intriguing to see how many of those will come back.
Brighton, bottom of the League and riven by civil strife, receive Fulham, the Third Division leaders. The London club's revival after years of similar upheaval demonstrates that all need not necessarily be lost.
