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.Both teams will feel they should be doing better this season. Everton have slumped to the bottom half of the table and Marco Silva is under immense pressure as a result.
Jordan Pickford has a shocker at Newcastle United last week as Newcastle turned the game on its head to win. The hosts will need Richarlison to continue providing fire-power if they are to threaten Chelsea on Sunday.
After a difficult start to 2019 Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea have stabilised in recent weeks.
They breezed into the Europa League quarter finals with an 8-0 aggregate win over Dynamo Kiev, and in the league they can go level on points with fourth placed Arsenal with a win on Sunday.
They have multiple routes into next season’s Champions League, but they will want to make sure they are competing on both fronts to increase their chances of qualifying.
When does it start?
Everton vs Chelsea kicks at 16:30 on Sunday 17th March.
Where can I watch it?
The game will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League.
Who's playing?
Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne, Andre Gomes, Gueye, Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin.
Subs: Baines, Walcott, Tosun, Schneiderlin, Stekelenburg, Davies, Lookman.
Chelsea: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Barkley, Pedro, Higuain, Hazard.
Subs: Loftus-Cheek, Caballero, Kovacic, Giroud, Hudson-Odoi, Willian, Christensen.
Player to watch
Callum Hudson-Odoi has seized every opportunity afforded to him this season.
You could hardly blame him for wanting to leave in January, but he has stayed and proved very useful for Sarri despite being just 18 years of age. He scored a goal and gave an assist on Thursday night’s thrashing of Dynamo Kiev. Wil Sarri finally trust him in the Premier League?

Anguissa is in the book after accidentally kicking Mane.

Much better from Fulham. They spring another counter attack through Babel, who delays his pass and eventually picks out Ayite. Liverpool get players back to close off the space and Anguissa’s low shot is held by Alisson. The home side are not out of this yet.

There's a pause in play as Cairney receives some treatment from the Fulham physio. The break might help Liverpool, whose control of this game has started to slip over the last few minutes.

Salah again loses out to Ream in Fulham's box and at the other end Babel nearly plays Mitrovic in on goal. Alisson is out quickly to clear.

Mane goes close! He rises highest from a corner and flicks his header against the bar.
GOAL! Fulham 1-1 Liverpool (Babel)
74 minutes
Fulham are level! Babel doesn't celebrate but the fans certainly do. Van Dijk makes a huge mistake, attempting to head the ball back to his goalkeeper but getting nowhere near enough power on the ball. Babel gets there before Alisson and taps into an empty net. Liverpool have been punished for not putting the game beyond Fulham.

Liverpool look rattled. There has been an element of complacency to this second half performance. The game looked beyond Fulham even at 1-0, but they have raised their game and deservedly equalised. Liverpool need a response.

77 minutes
Salah swivels away from Bryan and hits a right-footed shot from a tight angle. It deflects into the path of Rico, who makes an easy save.
