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.Arsene Wenger has made two changes to his Arsenal team that were stunned 2-0 by West Ham last weekend for today's match at Crystal Palace - bringing in Alexis Sanchez for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Hector Bellerin for Mathieu Debuchy.
Sanchez was given an extended break after his heroics for Chile at the Copa America during the summer, and only returned to training on 3 August.
The 26-year-old made a 23 minute cameo in the loss to West Ham last Sunday, coming on as a 77th-minute substitute.
For Palace, who won 3-1 at Norwich City on the opening day, two changes have also been made. Connor Wickham makes his start for the club after his £9m switch from Sunderland, coming in for Glenn Murray, while Yanick Bolasie replaces Jordon Mutch.
Teams
Crystal Palace: McCarthy; Ward, Dann Delaney, Souare; Zaha, McArthur, Cabaye, Puncheon, Bolasie; Wickham.
The Gunners have not started a season with successive league defeats since the first Premier League season of 1992-93.
They, however, unbeaten in their last 12 visits to Selhurst Park in all competitions.
