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.

Crystal Palace's late show earned a deserved 2-0 win at Wolves.

Jordan Ayew and Luka Milivojevic, from the penalty spot, scored in the final seven minutes to ease Palace's goal woes.

The Eagles' loan pursuit of Liverpool's Dominic Solanke looks over with doubts over his fitness while Wilfried Zaha stretched his goal drought to 14 games.

Wolves are chasing Chelsea's Tammy Abraham, currently on loan at Aston Villa, and both teams showed why they needed fresh firepower in a forgettable game. Re-live the action below:

Player to watch

Wilfried Zaha: As one of the best dribblers in the league, Zaha is an absolute nightmare for any defender and is a vital aspect of Hodgson’s team. Despite the result, he looked bright against Chelsea last weekend and made a number of powerful runs and if he’s on his game this evening, he could definitely help his side leave with something.

Odds

Wolves to win: 21/20

Palace to win: 16/5

Draw: 11/5

Prediction

Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace: Wolves have been brilliant all season against the top six sides but have let themselves down at times against the lower teams. Nevertheless, they sit in a great position just six points off Manchester United. Palace are a threat though when they’re on their game which I think they might be, I’m going for a draw

Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United, 90 + 5 minutes

Romelu Lukaku opts to shoot with four teammates in support as Manchester United again find space on the break.

His effort is lacking in power, and Martin Dubravka brings the ball into his body comfortably on this occasion.

​Matching the achievement of Sir Matt Busby, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer begins his stint at Manchester United with four wins from four. A first clean sheet of the Solskjaer tenure, and goals from Romelu Lukaku (moments after coming off the bench) and Marcus Rashford giving the visitors a 2-0 win.

Newcastle had their chances. Christian Atsu had about five sighters at goal on his left foot, but not a single one seriously troubled David De Gea, and Rafa Benitez's side lack of quality in the final third showed. 

Newcastle stay 15th, level on points with Burnley and Cardiff below them, just two points clear of the relegation zone.
