Aston Villa 0-1 Man City
Anita Asante
Former England defender on BBC Two
It's those games where the margins are so fine that you have to convert your chances because you are not going to get that many.
We've heard already, Chelsea have been rampant with the goals that they have scored today, it's because of chances they create. They're able to be clinical in those moments and City haven't found that today.

Aston Villa 0-1 Man City
Laia Aleixandri has a go from range but it floats over the bar.
Oh to have been a fly on the wall in that Manchester City dressing room at half time.

At the United v Chelsea game, Chelsea have been thrilling to watch, Emma has been thrilling to watch, I’ve been fighting back the happy tears. However this ends, thank you Emma !

KICK-OFFpublished at 16:04 British Summer Time 18 May
Just the six goals needed for Manchester City to win the title. And that's providing Aston Villa don't score and Chelsea also don't add any more to their tally at Old Trafford.
Not impossible. But not likely either.
Back under way up and down the country.

Emma Sanders

It's a humiliation for Manchester United so far.
INEOS representative Sir Dave Brailsford clasped hands with a few supporters before heading down the tunnel in the directors box as soon as the whistle went.
Chelsea's fans, for the first time since the first minute, have taken a bit of a breather to our right and are sitting down.
It's been relentless from everyone associated with the Blues. They have completely blown United away.

'City missing Shaw'published at 16:01 British Summer Time 18 May
HT: Aston Villa 0-1 Man City
Ellen White
Former England striker on BBC Two
I am frustrated - Manchester City should have come flying out the box with urgency, moving the ball quicker. You want to see people running, chasing after after the ball. I think they have been sloppy with their end product and being clinical.
They are massively missing Bunny Shaw, I feel frustrated for Manchester City and their fans, but then also huge credit to Aston Villa.
How it standspublished at 16:00 British Summer Time 18 May
This is how the table stands at the break.
City need to score SIX more goals as it stands to win the league.
Five and being level on goal difference wouldn't be enough - Chelsea would win the league on goals scored.
This is all assuming the scoreline doesn't change at Old Trafford, of course.

'City have to find that composure and calmness'published at 15:57 British Summer Time 18 May
HT: Aston Villa 0-1 Manchester City
Fara Williams
Former England midfielder on BBC Two
Coming into this game Manchester City players and staff will have known how important goals were. They have created chances but at times it has been a bit rushed in the final third. It's all about the execution now.
They have to find that composure and calmness in the final third. That is the difference between City and Chelsea in their first half performances.

Chelsea have had five chances and four of them have gone in.
Manchester City have had 10 efforts and found the back of the net with one.
That has been the difference.

Mayra Ramirez is like the female Drogba. Holds the ball up so well and has so much confidence, strength and quality on the ball. Blistering performance from her today. Also Macario was fantastic before she went off. Hope her injury isn't too bad!
Johnny Dean
Chelsea have been unstoppable today. Quality and strength across the pitch, but Ramirez has been the wrecking ball! Unbelievable power and speed and nobody can contain her!
Disappointed United Fan (but admiring the Chelsea display)
HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 18 May
Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea
Manchester United look to create an attack in the final seconds of the first half but it's all a bit pedestrian and comes to nothing and that will be that.
What a half from Chelsea and Mayra Ramirez in particular.

Man Utd 0-4 Chelsea
Natasha Dowie
Reading and England striker on the BBC Radio 5 Live
Manchester United can't live with Mayra Ramirez today. They can not live with her.
Two goals and an assist today already.
I tell you what, she's going for that match ball.

Bristol City 0-2 Everton
Everton are in complete control at the break courtesy of goals from Katja Snoejis and Sara Holmgaard.

Leicester 0-1 Liverpool
Sophie Haug's header separates the sides at the break. A good half with chances for both teams.

HT: Aston Villa 0-1 Manchester City
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Two
It needs a shift of miraculous proportions now for Manchester City. It is now or never. It is a cup final essentially. They could have done better in this first half, could have scored three or four goals, but they haven't and the key thing is that Chelsea have.

WOW. This is incredible. I've not seen many individual performances like it. I remember watching Lauren James at the World Cup for England and this is up there from Mayra Ramirez.
Every time she touches the ball, she makes something big happen.
The fans are going crazy. Emma Hayes is almost laughing at her brilliance on the touchline.
"We want five" is the new chant. Ramirez, almost single-handedly, is destroying Old Trafford.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 18 May
Aston Villa 0-1 Man City
Manchester City have had their chances but ultimately they have an uphill task on their hands thanks to Chelsea's exploits in Manchester.

Tottenham 1-0 West Ham
Tottenham lead at half-time.
Spurs have dominated.

Leicester 0-1 Liverpool
Brilliant run from Ceri Holland down the left for Liverpool.
She surges into the box but is denied by an excellent stop from Janina Leitzig before Leicester scramble the ball clear.
