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.This weekend saw Manchester United and Arsenal continue to falter in the Premier League while early pacesetters Liverpool and Manchester City maintained their impressive starts – but only just.
Late goals from Sadio Mané and Kyle Walker respectively snatched the Premier League leaders and defending champions all three points, and both of those match-winners win a place in our team of the week.
Sheffield United meanwhile swept past Burnley and have two players included, as do Chelsea, who maintained their winning run with a 2-1 victory over Watford.
Players from Bournemouth and Newcastle also feature after their impressive wins.
