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.Shay Given will not make his first Premier League appearance of the season with Mark Hughes instead handing a league debut to Jakob Haugaard.
After No 1 Jack Butland was injured while on England duty, 39-year-old Given was in the frame to play.
However, Hughes will instead play the 23-year-old Dane, his first Premier League game since joining from FC Midtjylland last summer.
Hughes has made two other changes to his side, Bojan coming in for Jon Walters - who was also injured while on Republic of Ireland duty - and and Erik Pieters coming in for Marc Muniesa at left-back.
Swansea City boss Francesco Guidolin has made three changes to his team.
Kyle Naughton comes in for youngster Stephen Kingsley at left-back, Leon Britton for Ki Seung-yeung in midfield and Wayne Roytledge for Modou Barrow on the wing.
