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.

Coventry City, who fought back to beat Chelsea 3-2 at Highfield Road on Saturday, look a fair bet to gain a draw against Arsenal at Highbury tonight. Arsene Wenger's men were not disgraced when surrendering a goal lead against Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday, but will struggle on that early evidence.

Crystal Palace look nailed on at 5-6 to beat Barnsley at home tomorrow night. Attilio Lombardo made an instant impact for Palace against Everton at Goodison Park, scoring the first and forcing the penalty that led to the winner. Barnsley, however, looked woefully short of Premiership standard at the back when going down 2-1 to West Ham at home.

On Wednesday, Blackburn can force a draw (3-1) against Aston Villa at Villa Park while Liverpool (8-15) should make short work of Leicester at Anfield. Manchester United (1-3) should hammer Southampton while Wimbledon (9-5) will find life easier facing Derby at Pride Park than they did against Liverpool. Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds and West Ham v Tottenham, looks likely draws (9-4 and 12-5).
