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.

Southampton vs Tottenham – 19:45

Friday 30 December

Hull vs Everton

28mins: City continue to have possession and move the ball around tidily but seem to be lacking a real presence up front. They may need to be patient against a well-organised Hull defence.

Can City keep up the heat on their title rivals?

33mins: Nice interplay from City on the edge of Hull's area finds Nolito but his effort rolls harmlessly into Marshall's arms. The Scotland goalkeeper hasn't had much to worry about so far.

38mins: More frustration for City. Guardiola must be counting down the seconds until he gets Aguero back. This time Sterling twists and turns away from his man and fires his effort high and wide.

40mins: City continue to waist chances and Hull almost make them pay. Snodgrass breaks clear down the right flank and his low cross is cut out well before Clucas can prod it home at the near post.

HT Hull City 0-0 Man City

It's been a frustrating first half here at the KCOM as both sides struggle to create anything in front of goal. City have dominated possession but haven't looked dangerous enough going forward to threaten the relegation strugglers. The home side, on the other hand, will be pleased with their first half performance. Hull have been well organised and restricted City to half chances so far. Guardiola will expect more from his star-studded squad after the break.

Will the blue half of Manchester be as happy as the red half this evening?
