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.

It’s a big game for…

Jose Mourinho. This is a mustn’t lose game for the Manchester United boss on his return to Stamford Bridge for the first time since his sacking nearly 12 months ago. A defeat would also leave United well off the pace in the hunt for a top-four place.

Best stat…

Manchester United have only beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League once since 2002.

Remember when...

The last time Manchester United beat Chelsea away from home. When Javier Hernandez scored the winner after Branislav Ivanovic and Fernando Torres were sent off.

Player to watch…

Diego Costa. The Spaniard has rediscovered his best form for Chelsea this season, scoring seven times and assisting a further two in the eight league games he has played in so far.
