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.

It is FA Cup tie/replay week and Bournemouth, who beat Northampton 3-0 on Saturday might just make home advantage count over Huddersfield, who hammered Oxford 5-1 on Saturday, in their FA Cup third round tie tomorrow.

Cheltenham, who drew 1-1 at Enfield in the FA Umbro Trophy on Saturday, could upset Reading, held 1-1 at home by Bury on Saturday, while Hereford who beat Dulwich 3-0 on Saturday, may surprise Tranmere.

Third Division Peterborough, who won 3-1 at Scunthorpe on Saturday, could knock out Second Division Walsall, who struggled to beat Chesterfield 3-2 on Saturday, while West Bromwich Albion should contain Stoke City, humiliated 6-0 at home by Birmingham on Saturday.

Bury appeal against Sheffield United, beaten 4-2 by Sunderland on Saturday, while Bristol Rovers, who won 2-1 at Plymouth on Saturday, might upset Ipswich, disappointingly held 0-0 by QPR at home on Saturday.

QPR might upset Middlesbrough, beaten 3-0 by Charlton on Saturday, while Wimbledon, despite losing 2-0 to Liverpool on Saturday have little to fear travelling to Wrexham, judging by the latter's 3-0 home defeat by Fulham on Saturday.

On Wednesday, Wolverhampton Wanderers, who annihilated Norwich 5-0 at Carrow Road on Saturday, should make a successful journey to Darlington, whose defence looked leaky despite their 4-2 victory at home to Colchester on Saturday.

Aston Villa, although held 1-1 at home by Leicester on Saturday, should dismiss Portsmouth, who lost 3-0 at home to Manchester City on Saturday, at Villa Park.

Arsenal, whose revival continued when they beat Leeds 2-1 on Saturday, can win at Port Vale, who went down 2-1 at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, while Sheffield Wednesday, who beat Newcastle 2-1 on Saturday, should beat Watford, who lost 2-0 at Burnley.
