Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Each week, The Independent will look ahead to the weekend's action in the Premier League with a video detailing the five key things to watch out for during the matches.

Rather than just detailing what games are coming up or what our predictions are, every week The Independent's online sports writers will outline five areas to watch: what game to keep your eye on, the player to pay attention to, the story and stat of the weekend, and finally the miscellaneous detail, which could be anything from a fixture ripe for an upset or a great interview to read in preparation for the weekend's football.

Watch the video below to find out more about the big game of the weekend when Arsenal take on Manchester City at the Emirates and about the difficult history Mario Balotelli has with Anfield. Manchester United fans will also be excited by the prospect of seeing Radamel Falcao playing for the first time against QPR as the Red Devils attempt to pick up their first win of the season, something Burnley and Crystal Palace are also desperate to do when they clash on Saturday afternoon.
