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.

Another Saturday, another jam-packed programme of fixtures to get stuck into. From Arsenal vs Crystal Palace to Manchester City vs Newcastle, there’s plenty of games to whet the appetite today as the second half of the season starts to unfold. Follow all the action live below as we bring you every hoof and boot of the ball.

40' - Kevin De Bruyne shoots from just inside the area but Karl Darlow makes a smart stop down low to his left.

43' - Newcastle have a really good chance on the break but Joselu's sloppy pass is intercepted by Nicolas Otamendi with Christian Atsu screaming for the ball in the middle.

Half-time - Manchester City 1-0 Newcastle

The referee brings the opening period to a close and City lead at the break through Sergio Aguero's goal.

46' - We are back underway at the Etihad!

50' - You won't be surprised to learn that City have dominated possession since the break. They've not done too much with the ball yet but their pressure will likely pay sooner rather than later.

Joselu dribbles with the ball for Newcastle

57' - Kevin De Bruyne delivers a wonderful cross in towards Leroy Sane but Newcastle defender Javier Manquillo does just enough to prevent the German from getting on the end of it.

61' - Isaac Hayden makes a wonderful last-ditch challenge inside the six-yard box to stop Sergio Aguero from converting Kyle Walker's low cross.

That really was excellent defending.
