    In the 51st minute, London City Lionesses register their first shot on target, courtesy of Freya Godfrey.

    It's a routine save for Hannah Hampton but the visitors have been lively since the break.

    And the second half is under way at the Joie Stadium.

    There has been a change at the break but a rather unusual one. Referee Ryan Atkin is unable to continue and has been replaced by the fourth official.

    Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses

    Another positive spell of possession for London City Lionesses comes to nought.

    Rofiat Imuran swings a ball towards the box from deep inside Chelsea's half but the hosts clear it. The ball is worked back to Jana Fernandez but her long range effort is off target.

    Chelsea sit on 1-0 too often. They might be in control, but they need a second goal before they can start to feel comfortable as London City still have dangerous players.

    Man City have dominated possession against West Ham (72%) and deservedly took the lead through Aoba Fujino in the 26th minute.

    That goal came from a West Ham error and Rehanne Skinner's side have been guilty of failing to take their chances at the other end. Viviane Asseyi came closest, hitting the bar in the 35th minute.

    Chelsea are a strong team and Bompastor has been great with her management. But I do feel Reiten is struggling a little bit because of being played out of position. Rytting-Kaneryd and Catarina Macario should have been in that line-up, but I do understand managing the players.

    Chelsea have controlled the tempo and looked very dangerous going forward.

    1-0 is not a comfortable scoreline, but looking at the bench they have players they can bring on if they need to.

    It's been a bit scrappy, a bit stop-start and very even. London City Lionesses reacted to going behind very well and will be pleased with their performance. They are causing the champions lots of problems.

    Chelsea have been their usual ruthless selves and it was a great link-up between Sandy Baltimore and Ellie Carpenter.

    Sonia Bompastor clearly wants more from her team though.

    Defending champions Chelsea lead London City Lionesses 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

    Ellie Carpenter bagged her first goal for the Blues, slotting home at the back post after a cross from Sandy Baltimore.

    However, Chelsea haven't had it all their own way, with London City enjoying 44% possession and looking dangerous on the counter through Izzy Goodwin. Unfortunately for Jocelyn Precheur, his side are yet to register a shot on goal.

    I think it is a lesson for London City. It shows if you switch off you do get punished. That is what happened very early on. They have had moments of really good play, but they lack that clinical edge.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 12:48 GMT 1 November

    It's half-time at both Stamford Bridge and the Joie Stadium.

    Man City and Chelsea are leading 1-0.

    Man City 1-0 West Ham

    Man City's Laura Blindkilde Brown gives the ball away but Shekeira Martinez can't capitalise. She spins away from Man City's defence but doesn't drive forward with enough intent and her shot is blocked.

    There's a pause in play at Stamford Bridge as London City Lionesses' Grace Geyoro receives some treatment after having her foot trodden on by Keira Walsh.

    The fourth official signals for two minutes of added time but we might have a little extra after that delay.

    Should that have been a penalty? Wassa Sangare under pressure from behind from Chelsea's Sjoeke Nusken in the area.

    Would have been a bit harsh on the Chelsea midfielder, in my opinion.

    Man City 1-0 West Ham

    Bunny Shaw really should have scored there. She and Vivianne Miedema tag-teamed to dispossess Amber Tysiak but West Ham scramble bodies behind the ball to prevent Shaw from getting the shot off. They were briefly two on one with West Ham's keeper there.

    Excellent recovery from West Ham but they keep inviting pressure on themselves.

    Chelsea have had guests like Serena Williams at Stamford Bridge before but today it's the visitors bringing the stardust.

    Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird are the in stands alongside Michele Kang to support London City Lionesses - though I'm sure Rapinoe is keeping an eye on the US Soccer representatives.

    Isobel Goodwin is doing a lot of ground work. London City are recognising that space in-behind the backline, but credit to Hannah Hampton, her starting position is very good.
