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.Jose Mourinho has made three changes to the Chelsea team that beat Aston Villa 2-0 at Stamford Bridge at the weekend.
However, the changes have marked numerous positional moves for the Blues, with Kurt Zouma moved from the centre to the right of defence, Cesar Azpilicueta from the right to the left and Gary Cahill into the middle - Baba Rahman drops to the bench after starting against Villa at left-back.
The enforced absence of Pedro means that Eden Hazard, who was dropped in a high-profile move on Saturday, returns to the starting XI.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek, another surprise inclusion against Aston Villa, also drops out of the first-team and doesn't even make the bench. Nemanja Matic, who has had a poor start to the season, returns in a holding role alongside Ramires, with Cesc Fabregas pushed further up the field.
Oscar remains unable to force his way back into the team, with WIllian impressing again on Saturday, while Diego Costa keeps his place ahead of Radamel Falcao.
