West Ham have a rare attack of their own as captain Katrina Gorry looks to execute a give and go with substitute Seraina Piubel.

The first one-two is good but the Australian's cross is picked out of the air by Courtney Brosnan.

It's been a really strong start by Liverpool and the fans sat in the Kop are pleased with what they have seen. Every time Olivia Smith gets the ball there is a roar of excitement.

Sara Holmgaard is the first player to go into the book for a cynical trip that stops a West Ham counter attack.

Shana Chossenotte makes way for Deanne Rose for the Foxes.

Leicester have enjoyed a decent spell in this second half so far.

It's Liverpool who have probably had the better chances so far. Marie Hobinger sends a free kick into the middle but Gemma Bonner can't direct her header on target.

Another change for West Ham as Rehanne Skinner looks to turn the tide of the game back in her side's favour.

Swiss international Seraina Piubel comes on to replace Emma Harries in midfield.

Gareth Taylor is back down at the pitchside and having a word with his coaching staff.

I presume it's along the lines of 'find a way to break them down'.

The home side are building up a good spell of momentum now with West Ham really struggling to clear their lines.

Karoline Olesen fires a corner into the box which is punched clear by Kinga Szemik. Honoka Hayashi launches the ball back forward but it runs through and into the arms of the Hammers stopper.

Ooooh. That's as close as Leicester have come all game. Courtney Nevin curls in a cross deep to the far post but Sophie Howard can't quite angle her shot and it trickles wide.

That is a fantastic bit of defending. Olivia Smith tries to chase down a loose ball but Alex Greenwood slides in and executes a perfect challenge to prevent her getting through.

Crystal Palace are not out of this by any stretch. They've actually looked the more likely to score in the early stages of this second half.

Mille Gejl is into the referee's book for a reckless challenge.

Liverpool are having a few opportunities on the counter.

The ball comes through to Cornelia Kapocs - who messes up her first touch - but it doesn't matter as the offside flag is soon raised.

Double change for Everton.

Heather Payne makes way for namesake Toni Payne on the right-hand side.

After a bright showing on her first league start of the season Emma Bissell is replaced by Veatriki Sarri.

Oops. Bit of a let off for Janina Leitzig, who comes out of her goal to clear the danger but loses the ball and has to quickly recover to prevent a Villa player getting a toe to it and having only an empty net in front of them.

Better from Everton.

Emma Bissell tricks her way past Shannon Cooke and fires a low cross through the six yard box.

No one in blue gambles on it though and it trickles out for a goal kick.

It has been a relatively muted affair at Anfield so far.

Liverpool are proving hard to break down for the visitors but the host aren't doing too much of note either.

Everton have come out flying in this second half, pressing very high in the West Ham final third and not letting the visitors settle on the ball.

They are just lacking that moment of quality or piece of magic to get that crucial equaliser.

Ouch! A nasty collision between Justine Vanhaevermaet and Emma Harries calls a brief halt to play.

There was no malicious intent from either player, just two full throttle challenges. Thankfully they both look to be ok to continue here after a small breather.

Ooooh. The space opens up for Vicky Losada and she has a clear sight of goal 14-yards out. She chips towards the far corner and forces a really good diving save from Shae Yanez in the Crystal Palace goal.

Chance for Liverpool! Marie Hobinger sends an excellent ball over the top towards Olivia Smith, who is shoulder-to-shoulder with Leila Ouahabi.

She gets a shot away but it's easily stopped by the Manchester City goalkeeper.
