Liverpool boss Matt Beard conceded that his side are "a little bit behind where we should be" ahead of their trip to Tottenham this weekend.

The Reds took two draws from their opening two games of the season against Leicester City and West Ham, taking the lead in both games before being made to settle for a point from each.

Despite this Beard says that he is "not concerned or worried" about his side's slow start.

"It’s so early in the season. There are still 20 league games to play, so I am not concerned or worried.

He added, "Yes we are ambitious and want to break into the top three, so does every other club in the WSL."

There were 41,818 inside the Emirates for Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Manchester City on 22 September.

Today, they're expecting something in the region of 25,000 as the Gunners look to sign off with a win before they launch their Champions League group campaign away to Bayern Munich on Wednesday (17:45 BST).

Arsenal are back at the Emirates next Saturday for a WSL fixture against Chelsea (13:45 BST) - a match you can watch live on BBC One.

Let's get straight into some build-up for the rest of the day's games...

Ayaka Yamashita is put under a bit of pressure by Viviane Asseyi right in front of her goal. Nervy moment for the Japan keeper but she passes out from the back with composure.

And that will be that for the first half. Dominant half from Manchester City but they would like a couple more goals.

We'll have two minutes added on at the end of the half.

Manchester City are getting plenty of joy down the right-hand side. Chloe Kelly looks to square across for Mary Fowler but West Ham are able to bundle away at the near post. Laura Blindkilde Brown also sends in a searching ball but it's turned behind for a corner.

The home side are clearly keen to get a second goal before the break.

Anouk Denton has looked really sharp for West Ham down this right-hand side.

She's put some dangerous balls into the box and you can see her team-mates are trying to find her quicker now.

She got a thumbs up from Riko Ueki for the last cross.

Frustrations for Leila Ouahabi who does really well down the left-hand side, cuts it back from the byline but no one in a blue shirt can pick it up. She was looking for Laura Blindkidle-Brown but no joy.

West Ham get up the other end and it's a delightful ball into the area for Riko Ueki but Kerstin Casparij beats her to it and turns behind for a corner.

Some of Manchester City's passing has been brilliant but there has been the odd loose one in there. So far West Ham have been unable to capitalise on the mistakes.

City fans are desperate for Jill Roord to score. Her ACL comeback has been remarkable. She needed just 249 days to return and this is her first start. She's got into some nice positions and had a few shots blocked - each one receiving a hefty applause.

At 24 years and 60 days, Lauren Hemp has become the youngest player to score 50 Women's Super League goals.

Lauren Hemp almost has her second of the afternoon as Yui Hasegawa makes a really nice driving run into the area and finds Hemp, who had climbed well but couldn't get her header down and it loops over the bar.

Alex Greenwood curls one in but it's headed away by Dagny Brynjarsdottir and the England defender berates herself for not finding a blue shirt.

Manchester City win the corner and it's really well-worked by Mary Fowler to Lauren Hemp at the near post. Hemp cuts it back for Leila Ouahabi just inside the 18-yard box. Her effort is on target but takes a deflection and flies over the bar.

The gloomy weather here in Manchester matches the tone of the match so far. It's not been a great one.

West Ham look more organised and are frustrating City. And Gareth Taylor's side are lacking real rhythm.

Lauren Hemp's quick dart across the edge of the West Ham box gives the fans a lift though, and they start banging the drums.

Viviane Assayi gives the ball away in the middle of the park and Manchester City look to get on the break and punish them but the visitors work hard to prevent an opportunity being created.

That is until Emma Harries gives away a free-kick in a dangerous area, 20-yards out and slightly to the right of centre.

Kerstin Casparij releases Chloe Kelly on the right-hand side but the England winger's searching ball across the box can't find a Manchester City teammate and West Ham are able to clear.

Manchester City are dominating possession inside this opening 20 minutes but West Ham aren't out of it.
