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.This year's FA Cup semi-finals could have a distinctly North-South feel after yesterday's winners, Chelsea and Liverpool, were kept apart in the draw for the last four. Fresh from beating Leicester City, Chelsea were handed a tie with Tottenham – whom they host in the Premier League on Saturday – should Harry Redknapp's side overcome Bolton Wanderers in their rearranged sixth-round tie.
Liverpool, who made their first appearance at Wembley in 16 years in winning last month's League Cup, could face Merseyside neighbours Everton in the other tie, if David Moyes' side manage to dispose of Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in next Tuesday's replay.
Liverpool, installed as the favourites to win this year's competition, have beaten Everton in three of their previous four FA Cup semi-final meetings, the most recent being a 3-0 replay win at Maine Road in 1977.
