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 return to normality after last weekend's round of FA Cup fixtures and while there may be a shortage of eye-catching clashes, there's still plenty to get stuck into.

With six of the bottom seven sides in action, today could prove to be a significant turning point as the battle for survival heats up.

Crystal Palace host fellow relegation rivals Middlesbrough in a crunch match for the two struggling sides. With three precious points up the grabs, expect fireworks.

Elsewhere, Sunderland travel to Goodison Park in an difficult fixture for David Moyes' men while Hull take on Burnley at the KCOM Stadium.

League leaders Chelsea welcome the resurgent Swans to Stamford Bridge, Bournemouth travel to West Brom and Watford round up proceedings at Vicarage Road as they go head-to-head with London rivals West Ham.

Follow the live action below...

That's all for tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow with live coverage of Tottenham's Premier League encounter with Stoke City at White Hart Lane and then the EFL Cup Final between Manchester United and Southampton at Wembley. Until then, thanks for following the blog today and goodnight.
