    Manchester City manager Gareth Taylor speaking to BBC One: "I'm really pleased. With the performance today, we were very good from minute one. We were little bit expectant we could get a few goals when the quality was executed well. A lot of crosses going in during the first half. We attacked well during the second half, it allowed us to rest players.

    "With the current squad we have and the amount of injuries, to be in a League Cup final, Champions League quarter-final and FA Cup semi-final, I'm really pleased because the players have worked very hard.

    On his message at half-time: "Just where we could influence the game a little bit more. Just create the one-twos between Jess and Viv. It was a moment of quality when Mary found Bunny. She's a fabulous talent and doing really good things for the team."

    On Khadija Shaw's goal: "A good finish, potentially could have had her time today. It's good to have her back, certainly not to full fitness but she's getting there."

    On the next four games all coming against Chelsea: "Potentially they could play a similar way to Villa. They are tough teams to break down. I think it's about what we do. We could select three teams from the squad we have. We're in a cup final, they are fantastic games for us. We will be fighting like we have been all season."

    I think Bunny Shaw was the difference. We saw the quality in her conposure, that was the difference. Give her a chane and she will put it away and that is what she did.

    Khadija Shaw scores to put Man City in front

    Manchester City striker Khadija Shaw speaking to BBC One after scoring: "I've been in a cup final and I know how it feels to win it. We deserve to be in this position, we've tried our best to be in the position, we just have to kick on."

    On the composure she had for her goal: "I think that's hard to explain. For me, it's just on the training pitch, I just have really good players around me supporting me. The more we practice in training, the more we're ready.

    On her partnership with Jess Park: "In the first half, Jess had one wide where I made the movement but I just went early. I just try to play on the blind side and know where the keeper is and just put the ball through her legs."

    "She's been fantastic over the past couple of games. We work on it a lot in training. She knows where I'm going to be, I know where she is. Just know that understanding is there and keep it going."

    Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Another great run from Aggie Beever-Jones, another which doesn't result in a goal.

    She bursts into the box, but Felicity Gibbons blocks her strike before Chloe Arthur boots it away.

  12. CLOSE!published at 15:19 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

    Almost a howler from Daphne van Domselaar.

    The Arsenal keeper is too blase as she attempts to keep the ball moving around the back and her pass is cut out by Sophie Roman Haug.

    Luckily the Liverpool forward takes an age to shoot and it is an easy stop in the end.

    Aggie Beever-Jones goes close again! It isn't her afternoon.

    She's teed up excellently by Catarina Macario inside the box, but she slices her curling effort over the bar.

  18. Postpublished at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool are upping the ante again now and Arsenal are starting to look shakey, particularly on set pieces.

    Daphne van Domselaar tries to gather Olivia Smith's punt back into the box and drops it, but she is rescued by her defence.

    Olivia Smith is causing chaos down the left hand side of the Arsenal defence.

    She gets the better of both Katie McCabe and Steph Catley before Leah Williamson sticks a foot out to block the cut back.

    Liverpool then can't make the most of the resulting corner.
