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.

Sven Goran Eriksson's Lazio face a tough game in Serie A against Milan tonight and Gennaro Gattuso, the Milan midfielder who scored the winning goal against England - Eriksson's next managerial assignment - in Turin on Wednesday, will be in action.

Last season's fixture provided a thrilling 4-4 draw and a hat-trick for the Milan striker Andrei Shevchenko. Milan are without the suspended midfielder Massimo Ambrosini, while Lazio's Juan Sebastian Veron will require a fitness test on a knee injury.

Tomorrow Verona, unbeaten in three home games this season, entertain Fabio Capello's vibrant Roma. The visitors are strengthened by the return from injury of Gabriel Batistuta and Francesco Totti. That means Vincenzo Montella will drop to the substitutes' bench.
