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.

Champions League finalists Liverpool turn their attentions to domestic matters this afternoon as they travel to Chelsea in an attempt to secure their place in Europe’s top competition for another season.

A win for Chelsea will see them draw level on points with the Reds going into the final two games of the season, and they will back themselves to hunt Jurgen Klopp’s side down with their not-so-little distraction in the form of Real Madrid in Kiev.

Mohamed Salah is gunning for a record goal tally in a Premier League season having already scored 31, but is Chelsea’s defence up to the challenge?

Read the wonderfully talented Miguel Delaney's take on Arsene Wenger's reign, and where it went so wrong towards the end.

"The Emirates is the house Wenger built. It's impact on him was, however, overwhelmingly restrictive and consumed all his energy during the most challenging years of his reign."

Are these the worst replica shirts you have ever seen? It's up there for me.

This is a nice touch, fans visiting the Arsenal club shop can write a memory in a book for Arsene Wenger. I presume he'll be presented with this, as long as nobody writes #WengerOut

Wenger stats

  • 26% of all players that have played for Arsenal have played under Arsene Wenger
  • If Wenger went on to manage another 100 games and lose all of them, he would still have the highest win percentage of any Arsenal manager.
  • Wenger takes charge of his 606th game as Arsenal manager, 7869 days after his first home match.

Sean Dyche offers his 'massive respect'

Burnley manager Sean Dyche says his players will be focused and will have no place for sentiment once the game starts.

"We've made the players aware there'll be a lot going on and rightly so," he said.

"Massive respect to Arsene Wenger, but when the whistle blows it's all out the window. It's a real game of football. We want as many points as possible."
