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.

Annabel Balanchard has a go from the right-hand side of the penalty area, a chipped effort with her left foot towards the far corner but it whistles wide.

Liverpool are known for being defensively solid and that's definitely the case today. They're sitting deep and forcing Manchester City to just knock the ball around them.

West Ham boss Rehanne Skinner made a change at the break, with full back Li Mengwen being replaced by Shannon Cooke.

There wasn't any sign of an injury issue so perhaps just a tactical change for the away side.

Couple of changes to report at Villa Park.

Kenza Dali is on for Gabi Nunes for Villa while Asmita Ale is on for CJ Bott for the Foxes.

And we're off again in our three 14:00 BST games. Some more goals please!

Manchester City have the first real attack of the game. Lauren Hemp charges down the left but her cross doesn't find Mary Fowler in a good enough position.

Before this game Brian Sorensen suggested that his Everton side and West Ham both "do not score as much as we create".

Well, the Hammers scored one of their five shots at goal, with the Toffees registering 7 shots in total without converting any of them.

He's not far wrong, but his side currently sit on the wrong side of the tight one-goal scoreline.

Gareth Taylor has gone to sit higher up in the stands at Anfield to get a better view of the pitch as he often does in the larger stadiums.

Liverpool Women managing director Russ Fraser is in the hospitality box, alongside ex-player Becky Easton.

There's also Scottish representation in Lisa Evans and Erin Cuthbert.

Liverpool have sold around 18,000 tickets for today's game with the Kop and the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand well stocked.

The Manchester City away fans are in the corner of the Anfield Road End.

Here we go! Manchester City get this one started.

• Manchester City have won eight of their last 10 WSL meetings with Liverpool (L2), this after winning just two of their first six matches against the Reds in the competition (D2 L2).
• Manchester City have won 17 of their last 19 Women’s Super League games (D1 L1) while City will be looking to win three straight WSL matches without conceding for the first time since February.
• Liverpool have opened the scoring inside the opening 10 minutes in three of their last four WSL games while they have also scored in stoppage time in three of their last six league matches.

Nearly time to get under way at Anfield.

Who will win? Hit the thumb's up for Liverpool, or the thumb's down for Man City.

Liverpool boss Matt Beard will miss today's game at Anfield due to illness.

It means assistant managers Scott Rogers and Amber Whiteley are overseeing things.

Both have experience leading the first team with Whiteley stepping in as interim head coach in 2021 following the departure of Vicky Jepson.

She will carry out media duties having done plenty of press conferences during her time in charge, while Rogers was Liverpool manager in 2018 after three years at the helm.

This is a huge task for them though, pitting themselves against Gareth Taylor's Manchester City.
