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.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the match between Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur.

Both clubs harbour European ambitions but have seen their form stall in recent weeks, Ronald Koeman's side have not won any of their last four - losing three of those - while Mauricio Pochettino's men have just one win in the last five, drawing three.

• Graziano Pelle returns to the starting after having an injection on his troublesome knee

• Third-choice goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga continues in goal as Maarten Stekelenburg has a toe injury

• Mousa Dembele passed a late fitness test and will start after an illness

• Clinton Njie, Ryan Masonand Alex Pritchard all remain sidelined for Spurs
