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.

A week after getting sent off for diving, James Maddison showed another side of his game by scoring a brilliant goal to help Leicester beat Watford 2-0 in the English Premier League on Saturday.

The playmaker brought down a long ball forward, juggled the ball past his marker, before sending a low volley into the bottom corner from just inside the area in the 23rd minute.

Jamie Vardy's 12th-minute penalty, after the striker himself was brought down by goalkeeper Ben Foster, put the Foxes in control and Watford was well beaten by the time Etienne Capoue was sent off in the 90th.

Leicester leapfrogged its opponent in the standings to move to seventh place.

Player to watch…

Marc Albrighton: The 29-year-old put in an industrious display against Brighton last weekend. He was excellent in helping out defensively and grew into the game in the second half as Leicester upped their tempo. His set pieces looked like Leicester’s best chance of claiming all three points at the Amex Stadium, and he also fired in a penalty in the shootout after coming on as a substitute against Southampton three days later. There's every reason to expect he will be full of confidence.

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?
