Everton are definitely on the front foot.

Aston Villa lose possession as they try to play out from the back, but Rosa van Gool can't punish the mistake as she finds the side netting.

Jess Park has a pop from the edge of the box but her strike is calmly collected by Chiamaka Nnadozie.

I was pretty impressed with the way Aston Villa finished the season last year and this season they played Chelsea and they should've been a few up at half-time. And that's what will punish Villa. Against the big guns, they need to take their chances.

Better from Brighton. Fran Kirby's shot was blocked but the rebound falls nicely for Maisie Symonds, who looks up to the sky after firing over.

Not much to report from Broadfield Stadium just yet.

Manchester United have made a few promising attacking runs, but Melvine Malard has been caught offside and there was a bit too much pace on that ball for Jess Park.

Lynn Wilms wags her finger at the referee. She's not happy Everton have been given a corner as it looked like Kelly Gago had run the ball out of play herself.

Leicester are struggling to get the ball away from their penalty area at the moment. Arsenal are putting them under a lot of early pressure.

Aston Villa didn't concede a single WSL goal in the month of October. Let's see what November holds...

These are three big points available today and these sides know they have to get hold of them to move up the table.

We're under way in three of today's WSL matches.

The delayed game at Brisbane Road between Tottenham and Liverpool will kick off in 15 minutes.

We're almost ready...

Any last-minute predictions?

Both of these teams need a swing in momentum. The likes of Aston Villa, I expect them to be defensively solid as we've seen in the games leading up to this. And for West Ham, hopefully they can solidify their defence and move up the table.

It's going to be an intriguing game today and hopefully more goals than I anticipate.

Liverpool may be second-bottom and yet to pick up a point in the Women's Super League, but Spurs boss Martin Ho believes they will still pose a "tough" challenge.

Tottenham, meanwhile, currently sit fourth with 12 points from six games.

Ho said in his pre-match news conference: “I think the position in the table and results don’t show the performances they’ve maybe had. I think they pull teams really close in a lot of games.

"They have a very clear identity, very forward thinking and front footed, in terms of how they want to play - and that's obviously Gareth’s implementation on the squad.

"We know it's going to be a tough game, we know they're probably chomping at the bit to want to get a result and they want to get a win. We need to make sure that we step up, we perform and we make sure we make it difficult for them.”

• Against no side have Leicester City suffered more defeats in the Women’s Super League than Arsenal, losing all eight of their top-flight meetings with the Gunners.
• Arsenal have won just one of their past five Women’s Super League away games (D1 L3), losing four of nine matches on the road in 2025 (W4 D1) – the Gunners have never suffered five away defeats in the WSL in the same calendar year (also L4 in 2023).
• No team have conceded more goals in the opening half hour of WSL games this season than Leicester City (5, also West Ham United). In that time period, the Foxes have faced the most shots (33) and shots on target (19), as well recording just a single shot on target and failing to score themselves.

Leicester City manager Rick Passmoor believes his side "needs to evolve" if they are to establish themselves as a mainstay of the Women's Super League.

The Foxes have not finished higher than 10th in any of their previous four top-flight campaigns, and have started this season with one win in six outings.

Passmoor took interim charge of the team on the eve of the new season, and was appointed permanent manager earlier this month.

"We're building - the first season is all about relationships and creating a foundation to work from, remaining in the WSL," Passmoor said in his pre-match news conference.

"Before I came in, the noise outside was that we were favourites for relegation. We are trying to change the narrative within that, we don't listen to the outside noise, we get on with what we think our principles are.

"We've got Arsenal at the King Power - let's remind ourselves why we came into this building, this fantastic game. We wanted to be in this scenario, so let's enjoy it.

Aston Villa have lost just once in the WSL so far this season - the same as Manchester City and Arsenal - but the Villans find themselves parked in the bottom half of the table.

With only one win, a handful of draws have cost them a higher league position.

However, Natalia Arroyo will be delighted with her side's improved defensive statistics this term. Villa have kept three clean sheets in their first six games, which is more than they managed across the whole of the 2024-25 season.

Natalia Arroyo hopes Lucia Kendall will take a "big boost" and "continue pushing" after making her full England debut earlier this week.

Kendall was a surprise inclusion in Sarina Wiegman's squad for the October internationals, and was named in the England starting XI that beat Australia 3-0 on Tuesday.

"She performed really well, we are very proud of how she is adapting. We knew we were signing a good talent, but it's crazy that in the space of a few months she is able to perform in this way," Arroyo said on Friday.

"She can dribble and carry the ball, or stay still and dominate 360 degrees of midfield. She dictates the tempo, the hardest thing for a 21-year-old midfielder.

"She is surfing in this way and we need to surf with her and use this this excitement and help her."
