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.

Son Heung-min

Assuming you already have Harry Kane - and if you don’t, get him - cover the rest of Tottenham’s attack with Son. It’s a double gameweek for Spurs, who travel to Everton and host Southampton. Both fixtures are favourable.

Kelechi Iheanacho

Iheanacho’s form is hard to ignore and supported by the underlying numbers, plus he is about to embark on a kind run of fixtures. West Bromwich Albion have improved of late but it is worth investing in Leicester for the games to follow too.

Mason Greenwood

Injury concerns in United’s front line should see Greenwood play regularly between now and the end of the season. After a disappointing year in front of goal, the teenager is starting to rediscover form and is classed as a midfielder, meaning an extra point for every goal.

Jesse Lingard

Along with Iheanacho, the form pick that everyone is talking about. Will Lingard’s scoring last? Probably not, but the numbers are decent enough considering his price bracket and Newcastle’s defence can be obliging.

Romain Saiss

The Wolves defence appears to have potential between now and the end of the season. Conor Coady is the cheapest pick but Saiss has traditionally carried greater attacking threat and could be worth the extra outlay.

Captaincy

Harry Kane, no question. There’s an argument for Son Heung-min but Kane has penalties in his locker and arguably more routes to goal.

Single gameweek players like Bruno Fernandes and Mohamed Salah have the potential to score well but your best bet of a haul is backing those who have a double.

Clean sheets

There are two obvious ports of call for clean sheets this week.

Manchester United will be confident of keeping Burnley out at Old Trafford, even though Sean Dyche’s side have shown more attacking intent than usual recently.

Wolves are still unpredictable but should have enough to shut down Sheffield United at Molineux. Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Leicester are all contenders, too.

Best XI

Leno; Shaw, Alexander-Arnold, Saiss; Son, Salah, Fernandes, Greenwood, Lingard; Kane, Iheanacho.
