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.

The FA Cup remains in full swing with six more games to be played today.

Cardiff welcome fellow Championship side Fulham to the Cardiff City Stadium to kick Sunday's procedures off.

That game is followed by Liverpool vs Plymouth Argyle at 1.30pm. With just one major upset from Saturday's results, with Millwall claiming a surprise 3-0 over Bournemouth, Derek Adams' men have the opportunity to pull off what would arguably be one of the biggest shock wins of the tournament yet.

Chelsea vs Peterborough and Middlesbrough vs Sheffield Wednesday follows at 3.00pm before Tottenham round-up today's action as they take on Aston Villa at 4.00pm.

Follow the live action below...

Moreno delivers a corner short then sends the ball back into the box, but the Plymouth defence manage to scrape the ball to safety. Liverpool are struggling to find a way through.

81 MINS

Tanner takes down Lucas deep into the Liverpool half to give away an free-kick. 

The clock is ticking and if the score remains, then a replay between the two clubs will be today's outcome.

84 MINS

A corner into the box from Firmino flies through the crowded box, but Sturridge chases the loose ball. He redeems possession and goes for an attempt on goal, but again it just goes wide.

85 MINS

Jervis breaks through the Liverpool defence with sublime pace and ends up through on goal, but it's a tricky angle. His shot is dragged just wide. 

Plymouth should have used the 25-year-old's pace to exploit the Liverpool weaknesses at the back more in this fixture.

86 MINS

Carey skips through two Liverpool players, but he is eventually taken down on the edge of the box by Lallana. Free-kick to Plymouth in a dangerous area.

87 MINS

Fox delivers the ball into the box, but it's a waste. It's a poor delivery that is easily cleared by the Liverpool defenders.

Chelsea 1 - 0 Peterborough 

Pedro opens the score for Conte's men.

90(+3) MINS

Moreno delivers yet another free-kick into the box and once again, Liverpool fail to find a final product. They have lacked any real menace when attacking the set-pieces today.
