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.

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?

While we wait for Arsene Wenger to speak to Sky Sports, give Miguel Delaney's match report a read, you won't regret it.

Arsene Wenger has been speaking to Sky Sports reflecting on his time managing Arsenal.

On his final lap of honour: "It's very emotional it's the last time in such a long time and such a big love story, so of course we don't want to end it ideally, but everything comes to an end."

On reflecting on this season: "It's a season of contrast. It's maybe our best home season but it didn't end like we wanted it."

On what he does next: "I'm so much focused. You just focus and be robotic and think about the next game. It will take me some time to reconnect with myself and think about what I want to do."

On his best season: "As a manager the target is to get the best out of the team when you don't lose a game you think you can't get much better. You have to be honest with yourself and see where the team is."

On Sir Alex Ferguson: "I'm concerned because last week we were together i trust his strengths and optimistic character to get over that quickly."

On his achievements: "First of all I've been faithful to the values. I think over a long period is to deal with integrity team spirit and the values of the club."
