Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Alan Pardew takes charge of his first Premier League game as Crystal Palace boss on Saturday after a 4-0 win over Dover in the FA Cup last weekend.
The Eagles are without a win in their last eight league games and find themselves in the bottom three, albeit just a point adrift of closest rivals West Brom. Pardew will be without captain Mile Jedinak, who is representing Australia in the AFC Asian Cup, but otherwise has a relatively clean bill of health.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will be hoping Harry Kane continues the form he showed on New Year’s Day, when he grabbed a brace in an incredible 5-3 win over Chelsea at White Hart Lane.
Kane has found the net 16 times in all competitions, including five in his last five games, and will be looking to add to his tally at Selhurst Park as Spurs continue to make strides towards that fourth place that has so often eluded them. New signing DeAndre Yedlin could make his debut at right-back after joining from Seattle Sounders.
