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.

The players are in the tunnel at the Amex and kick-off is just five minutes away!

The players are currently observing a minute's applause in memory of the late Cyrille Regis, who passed away last Sunday aged just 59.

May he rest in peace.

GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Chelsea (Hazard)

3' - Victor Moses' driven low cross deflects into the path of Eden Hazard, who takes a touch before lashing the ball past Mat Ryan from 10 yards out.

What a start for the visitors!

5' - Pascal Gross attempts to equalise instantly for the hosts but his effort from distance flies well over Willy Caballero's crossbar.

GOAL! Brighton 0-2 Chelsea (Willian)

6' - What. A. Goal.

A wonderful team move involving Willian, Eden Hazard and Michy Batshuayi ends with the Brazilian lashing a superb strike past Mat Ryan and into the corner of the goal.

14' - Solly March connects well with a shot from 20 yards but his effort is straight at Willy Caballero, who makes an easy save.

16' - Brighton have an early penalty claim as Ezequiel Schelotto goes down in the box under a challenge from Willy Caballero.

Jon Moss waves play on but the replays suggest he should have pointed to the spot. There was definite contact there.
