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.

Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of Manchester City vs Borussia Monchengladbach.

Following the postponement of Tuesday's fixture due to adverse weather conditions in Manchester, the two sides will meet in amid a strange atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium.

Only around 30 per cent of the travelling Gladbach contingent are expected to be in attendance, with many having flown home following the abandonment.

Pep Guardiola's side, who impressed last time out in their Manchester derby victory at Old Trafford, will hope to put such problems behind them and maintain their perfect start to the season.
