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.

Liverpool travel to basement boys Swansea tonight in search of all three points as they look to draw level with Chelsea on 50 points.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are unbeaten in 18 games, an impressive record that stretches back to their 4-1 humbling at Tottenham.

The same can’t be said for Swansea whose last defeat came at the turn of the year in a 2-0 loss by Tottenham. New manager Carlos Carvalhal has helped lift spirits at the Liberty – but will it be enough to fell visitors Liverpool?

1' - We are underway at the Liberty Stadium!

5' - It's been a slow start in South Wales with both teams struggling to retain possession in the early stages.

8' - Is there anybody even at the Liberty Stadium? There appears to be a fair few thousand fans inside the ground but the atmosphere sounds utterly dreadful!

It's all been a bit flat so far - off and on the pitch - with both goalkeepers yet to be tested.

Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal looks on from the dug-out

14' - Andrew Robertson whips a delicious low cross in from the left wing but Alfie Mawson makes a good interception inside the six-yard box to snuff out the danger. 

That's about as much excitement as we've had in the opening third of this first half.

17' - Jordan Ayew has the ball in the back of the net for Swansea... but the linesman's flag is up as the striker had dribbled the ball out of play just prior to slotting home!

Decent finish, mind.
