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.Last season’s finalists Manchester United will travel to Molineux to take on Wolves in the quarter-final of the FA Cup.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side last won the cup in 1960 under the captaincy of the late Bill Slater.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer strengthened his case to be made full-time Manchester United boss and confirmed the Red’s place in the last eight with a 2-0 win at Chelsea.
United avoided their city rivals for another round whilst Pep Guardiola’s City will make the journey down to The Liberty Stadium to face Championship Swansea.
Watford drew another London-based opponent in finalists from three years ago, Crystal Palace. Both sides faced lower league opposition in the fifth round.
Lowest ranked side remaining in the competition, Millwall will host Brighton. Brighton were man United’s quarter-final victims last season and will be hoping to surpass their achievement at The Den. Millwall themselves have good recent history in the competition, making the quarter-finals two years ago and semi-finalists in 2013 against eventual winners Wigan. A game marred by crowd trouble.
The fixtures will take place between March 15-18.
