Leicester are so comfortable at the minute. They are just keeping Villa at arm's length.

Noelle Maritz tries to set the ball back to Miri Taylor to cross but Shannon O'Brien steps in to halt the attack.

West Ham substitute Seraina Piubel almost squuezes one in from a tight angle but the ball trickles across the six-yard box and narrowly goes wide.

A card apiece for Jill Baijings and Ruby Mace after an altercation between the pair.

Leicester then resume play after a drop ball.

Triple change for Brighton as Vicky Losada, Kiko Seike and Jelena Cankovic are replaced by Dejana Stefanovic, Pauline Bremer and Fran Kirby.

Nelly Las has her first involvement of the game as she collects CJ Bott's through ball before darting down the right.

She cuts inside to shoot on her left foot but it is blocked by Lucy Parker.

Gabi Nunes' race is run after a tough afternoon with Ebony Salmon coming on to bring fresh legs up top for Villa.

West Ham make a change with Emma Harries replacing Manuela Pavi.

Kirsty Hanson beats her marker down the left before crossing a dangerous ball into the middle.

Gabi Nunes is on her heels though and can't get to it ahead of Julie Thibaud.

Another change for Leicester and it's a double one.

Shana Chossenotte and Hlin Eiriksdottir come off after very good individual performances. Shannon O'Brien and Nelly Las enter the action.

Viviane Asseyi is pulled down by Rachel McLauchlan and the hosts have a penalty!

Villa are trying to up the pace here but it's just not clicking up top for them yet.

Chasity Grant sends a searching cross into the middle for Gabi Nunes to chase but Sophie Howard and Janina Leitzig combine to quell the danger.

Brighton are gettng a bit sloppy at the back, and they nearly paid the price there. Vicky Losada is robbed facing her own goal but Manuela Paví fires wide.

Double change for Villa as Katie Robinson and Rachel Daly come off to be replaced by Chasity Grant and Miri Taylor.

Piubel almost makes an instant impact from the bench for the Hammers but she fires over from the edge of the penalty area.

Brighton's Rachel McLauchlan is booked for pulling down West Ham attacker Viviane Asseyi as she looked to break forward.

Nicole Momiki breaks the offside trap on the left hand side but rushes her shot and skews it wide of the near post.

If only one of her teammates could have shouted to tell her how much time she had there.

Aston Villa managed to hold defending champions Chelsea to just a 1-0 win at Villa Park just a fortnight ago but they have been so poor defensively today.

Two of the Leicester goals came from weak clearances from their own box.

Although having said that I don't think even two or three goalkeepers could have kept out Janice Cayman's second goal.
