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.

The Capital One Cup final takes place on Sunday 28 February, with the match kicking off at 4.30pm.

Liverpool, Stoke, Manchester City and Everton are the four teams bidding for a place at Wembley Stadium where the first major piece of silverware will be decided.

After the first legs of the semi-finals, Liverpool lead Stoke 1-0 and Everton lead Manchester City 2-1.

Despite a cup final taking place at Wembley, Premier League matches are still scheduled for that weekend, meaning those involved will see their games postponed.

As it stands, Stoke are due to play Aston Villa on the Saturday and Manchester City are away against Newcastle on Sunday. Those who schedule the fixtures will be hoping for a Merseyside derby in the final, with the two sides already scheduled to meet on that Sunday afternoon but in the Premier League.

The winners of the tournament will replace reigning champions Chelsea as the holders of the League Cup.
