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.

Welcome to The Independent's coverage of today's Premier League encounter between Stoke City vs Chelsea.

  • Preview: Stoke City vs Chelsea
  • Chelsea will be without Jose Mourinho who is serving a one-match stadium ban for his behaviour during last month's defeat to West Ham United
  • The Potters have taken fewer shots than their opponents in all but one of their Premier League matches so far; the worst record of any side this season.
  • Peter Crouch recently complained about being under-used by Stoke, but if Mark Hughes has picked up on Chelsea's aerial vulnerabilities then he will surely throw his towering striker on here. 
  • The Blues' defence has already conceded six headers this season, the same number as in the whole of last season and one more than in the season before that.
