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.

The Premier League champions-elect Manchester City face the champions of two years ago, Leicester City, at the Etihad Stadium looking to extend their lead at the top of the table to 16 points over their nearest rivals, in every sense, Manchester United.

This game also has the added subplot of Riyad Mahrez, who was determined to leave Leicester in January to join Guardiola's expensively assembled squad – he returns to the bench this evening.
