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.

The Premier League returns from the international break and it promises to be an entertaining weekend of football.

It's the first round of fixtures since the transfer window closed meaning there are new faces to spot and debuts to be made.

Arsenal vs Manchester City is the first game of the weekend, kicking off at 12.45pm. The contest at the Emirates between the two heavyweights can be seen on BT Sport 1 as Danny Welbeck prepares to make his debut following his £16m move from Manchester United.

The late kick-off on Saturday is Liverpool vs Aston Villa and can be seen on Sky Sports 1 at 5.30pm. More debuts should be made at Anfield, with Mario Balotelli turning out in front of the Kop for the first time since his move and Adam Lallana ready to feature.

On Sunday, there is just one game on TV, but it's a good one - Manchester United vs QPR is on Sky Sports 1 at 4pm. The Red Devils are still without a win this season and Louis van Gaal will be desperate to change that. Radamel Falcao, Daley Blind, Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo are all in line to feature for Manchester United for the first time.

There is also a match on Monday night - Hull City vs West Ham at 8pm. That's on Sky Sports 1.
