Liverpool 1-1 Leicester
Ceri Holland has looked a constant threat for Liverpool and she's had another go at goal, forcing Lize Kop into a fine save low to her right.
Could go either way this match.
Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace
Nearly three for Tottenham.
Martha Thomas takes down a cross from the left and shoots smartly on the turn.
Straight at Shae Yanez. A couple of yards either side and it would be 3-0.
FT: Arsenal 2-2 Man City
Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall speaking to the world feed: "Overall in the game I think we had the better chances but from the situation that we were in, one goal down, for the team morale and the incredible will to turn the game around and getting a late goal to equalise, it was pretty fair.
On the Maanum opener: "It shows how great this team is because moments earlier City won the ball in our final third and made a chance from it and then we showed bravery to keep the organisation to play out from the back against the high press to exploit the situation.
"I was so pleased with how the players handled that situation and kept true to the way we wanted to play.
New signings: "A really important window. We keep building and developing a squad that is going to go on and challenge for the most major trophies in the game. For the players we have got at this point, they will definitely help us to do that."
Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace
Good response from Crystal Palace.
They win a corner on the left and it is hung up to the back post.
Katie Stengel has Eveliina Summanen draped all over her but manages to get free and stab a decent effort goalwards.
Rebecca Spencer keeps it out, though, and Spurs maintain their two-goal advantage.
Jutta Rantala (53rd minute)
Well, well, well. We're level as Jutta Rantala fires a brilliant, right-footed finish across Rachael Laws and into the far corner. You're not saving them!
I said earlier that Leicester will feel like there's something for them in this game and they'll certainly think that now!
Jess Naz (53 mins)
It had been coming.
Crystal Palace lose possession around the halfway line, the ball breaks to Drew Spence and she pokes a no-look pass into the path of Jess Naz.
The Spurs winger bursts through the middle and although Shae Yanez saves her initial effort, it falls kindly for Naz to tap into an empty net.
Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace
A flurry of corners for Tottenham early in the second half and they're causing Crystal Palace a few problems.
The WSL newcomers are hanging on for now. A second Spurs goal and they would be in real trouble.
Liverpool 1-0 Leicester
Six places separated these two sides in the WSL last season with Liverpool finishing a brilliant fourth and Leicester taking 10th spot.
They've looked a lot closer than that so far in this match though.
Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace
The free-kick was glanced just wide of the post by a Crystal Palace defender but Tottenham come so close to doubling their lead from the resulting corner.
It's Ashleigh Neville's header, Shae Yanez is beaten but the ball is hacked away off the line.
Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace
Just 30 seconds into the second half and we've got the first booking of the afternoon.
Jess Naz tries to get away down the Tottenham left and is pulled back by Mille Gejl.
A clear yellow card.
Liverpool 1-0 Leicester
A half-time substitute for Liverpool as Gemma Evans is replaced by Jasmine Matthews.
We're back under way for the second half as Liverpool lead Leicester 1-0 and Tottenham are a goal up against WSL newcomers Crystal Palace.
FT: Arsenal 2-2 Man City
Arsenal midfielder and player of the match Frida Maanum speaking to the world feed: "It was a tough game. It is always tough aainst City becasue they are a great team with great players. It was a tough 90 minutes."
On her goal: "Cait [Foord] came in a good position with a great cross and I know that the second balls are always on so I just needed to get in the right place at the right time, and I did."
On the season ahead: "It is exciting that we have a lot of depth in the squad. You see a lot of good players coming off the bench, Beth for example, and getting the goal. It shows we have a strong and competitive squad which is good."
FT: Arsenal 2-2 Man City
Manchester City goalscorer Jess Park, speaking to BBC TV: "It was a really frustrating game for us. Times we played well as a team, times we couldn't find that extra level. Frustrating but happy to come away with a point. That's going to be important."
On her goal: "I caught it our the bounce after I took a touch as soon as it left my foo I thought I've hit that well. To see it go into the back of the net was nice to put us ahead.
"I think I was laughing at everyone's comments, I don't think they've seen me strike a ball that hard. It was great to score a great goal."
On the title race: "Its always really hard to come away to Arsenal , especially in this stadium it's even harder. To come away with a point and it be maybe not our best performance, is really positive. We will take that and work on the things we need to work on."
On Vivianne Miedema: "Great for her, we all tried to be around her. It was really nice to see her score that goal, I think she needed that.
"We work well together. She is exciting to play with, it's really nice to play with her."
On ambitions for the season: "I think we want to go all the way, as far as we can in every single competition. I think that's just the standard."

FT: Arsenal 2-2 Man City
Jenna Schillaci
Former Spurs captain on BBC Radio 5 Live
Given the amount of chances and opportunities they made in the first half, and at home in front of their own fans, Arsenal will be disappointed to have dropped points there today. Man City will be walking away the happier of the two teams.
FT: Arsenal 2-2 Man City
While the players take a break in the two 14:00 BST kick-offs, let's get some reaction to a thrilling early game at the Emirates...
Liverpool 1-0 Leicester
That's it for the first half as Liverpool hold a narrow lead thanks to Sophie Roman Haug's header.
Leicester can take plenty of encouragement from that half and will feel as though there's something in this game for them.
Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace
Tottenham lead through Hayley Raso's excellent debut goal.
Crystal Palace have grown into the game since then but the Australian really should have scored her second just before the break.
Still all to play for in the second half.
Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace
It should be 2-0 to Tottenham now!
A superb run from Amanda Nilden gets her into the box and she squared to Hayley Raso, who was unmarked 10 yards out.
Just the keeper to beat but the shot is a tame one and Shae Yanez makes the save with her feet.
Big let off for the newly-promoted side.
