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.

Crystal Palace ended its eight-match winless streak with a 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park as Burnley's unconvincing English Premier League campaign took another turn for the worse on Saturday.

James McArthur scored Palace's first goal from open play at home this season in the 16th minute, and Andros Townsend secured the win with a fine goal 12 minutes from time.

Sean Dyche's team, with just a single point from its last six games, finished seventh last season but the Clarets are a team devoid of confidence. Relegation looks a real possibility.

Palace built on its deserved point at Old Trafford last weekend with a win that provides Roy Hodgson's side breathing space — three points — from the bottom three.

Player to watch

James Tomkins: The defender has been one of the few shining lights and a vital component for Palace this season. He delivered yet another composed display at the back against Manchester United, thwarting Jose Mourinho’s side’s attacks on numerous occasions. Burnley have struggled in attack this season, but Tomkins will be key once again if Palace are to end their winless home league record this campaign.

Newcastle vs West Ham

West Ham have troubles at the back, only Fulham (0) have kept fewer clean sheets than them in the Premier League this season (1).

Can Newcastle capitalise on this weakness?

Crystal Palace vs Burnley

Palace created a number of chances in their last game against Man Utd, but a lack of an out and out goalscorer cost them the win. 

Who will step up for them today?
