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.Slaven Bilic will make two changes to the West Ham dream that drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace last weekend.
It appears as if the Hammers boss will play with either three or five at the back in an attempt to nulify the attacking threat of Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.
James Tomkins comes in for forward Emmanuel Emenike, one of three centre-backs in the team along with Winston Reid and Angelo Ogbonna.
Cheikhou Kouyate will start in midfield after his red card against Palace was rescinded, while Andy Carroll starts up front in place of Diafra Sakho who is injured.
For the visitors, Wenger has not made any changes to the team that beat Watford 4-0 last weekend.
That means Petr Cech remains on the bench with David Ospina starting in goal.
Teenager Alex Iwobi continues as one of the forwards, with both Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud on the bench.
