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.

Southampton v Everton

The Premiership: 2.0pm. Live: Sky Sports 1

Another of the South Coast switchers, Nigel Quashie, should make his Southampton debut after a knee injury that has haunted him since his move from Portsmouth. Everton have doubts over new signing Mikel Arteta (knee), and are still without Steve Watson (stomach) and Leon Osman (knee).

Chelsea v Manchester City

The Premiership: 4.05pm. Live: Sky Sports 1

With Arjen Robben (foot) ruled out, it could be a chance for Joe Cole (pictured) to start for Chelsea, whose striker Didier Drogba (groin) is doubtful. Antoine Sibierski (virus) is available again for City but they are likely to be unchanged.

West Ham United v Cardiff City

The Championship: 1.0pm. Highlights: 7.0pm Sky Sports 1

Tomas Repka is banned for West Ham and Gavin Williams (ankle), Matt Etherington (groin) and Don Hutchison (knee) are out. Peter Thorne returns up front for Cardiff.

Dunfermline Athletic v Celtic

Scottish Cup fourth round: 12.0pm.

Live: Sky Sports 1

Dunfermline's Macedonian striker Georgi Hristov is likely to make his debut but centreback Scott Wilson is a doubt. Celtic may think loan signing Craig Bellamy is fantastic but not on plastic, so he sits this one out.
