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.

Brendan Rodgers will rotate his squad for the second round clash at Anfield against the League One side who have only picked up one point in their opening four matches.

Fabio Borini, Raheem Stirling, Andre Wisdom and summer signing Luis Alberto are all vying for a starting place in the Liverpool side whilst Notts County manager Chris Kiwomya is sweating over the fitness of several first-team players, including captain Dean Leacock, who sat out their weekend loss against Stevenage. New-signing Enda Stevens, 23, is eligible to play for County after joining on-loan from Aston Villa today.
