    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    It was pretty simple build-up, route one.

    Fridolina Rolfo gets in the thick of it once again and feeds Melvine Malard. There won't be many chances better than that against Chelsea.

  2. CLOSE!published at 69 mins

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Now Man Utd are close to a goal.

    Fridolina Rolfo holds up a long ball, then plays in the onrushing Melvine Malard whose angled shot flashes past the far post.

    Both sides have had 12 shots so far tonight. This has been a very close, but also very open match.

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Beever-Jones' best chance!

    Cat Macario knocks the ball back to the striker, whose shot clips Dom Janssen and loops narrowly wide of the left post with Phallon Tullis-Joyce scrambling.

    Man Utd have come closer to a goal in the second half, but Chelsea have shown more threat overall.

    Finely poised.

    Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor made her feelings known to the officials a bit too forcefully when a free-kick was awarded against her team in the Manchester United penalty area.

    She was shown a yellow card by referee Abigail Byrne and the home supporters behind her responded with a chant of 'sit down, shut up'.

    25 minutes remaining, this is still anyone's game.

    If there is a winner tonight, they will definitely end the weekend top of the WSL.

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Malard has already equalled her league goals tally for last season.

    Could she make it five from five tonight?

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:49 BST

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Earlier, Marc Skinner made his first change, and it is in attack.

    Melvine Malard - who has four goals in four WSL games - replaces Elisabeth Terland, who can't add to her eight goals in all competitions.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 61 mins

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has just been booked, for unclear reasons.

    I think she was complaining about a tackle on Catarina Macario.

  10. 'Hard conditions for goalkeepers'published at 20:47 BST

    It's going to be slippery, it's going to be swirly. It's hard for the goalkeeper to take things cleanly in these conditions.

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Jess Park strikes narrowly over the top from the edge of the Chelsea D.

    Given the conditions, shots from distance to test the keepers may be a good idea.

  12. Postpublished at 57 mins

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Jess Park concedes another corner quite needlessly.

    Chelsea are applying more pressure now.

  13. Postpublished at 55 mins

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Alyssa Thompson wins a corner for Chelsea. The American's directness is already making an impact.

    Aggie Beever-Jones has moved into a more central role with Thompson on the left. That might help the quiet ABJ get more involved in this match.

  14. 'Kaptein looks disappointed'published at 20:41 BST

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Wieke Kaptein finished an absolutely sublime move that started in their own defensive third [for Chelsea's goal]. She looks a little disappointed to come off so soon.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 54 mins

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Man Utd midfielder Julia Zigiotti is the first player booked tonight for a rather industrial challenge on Erin Cuthbert.

  16. 'Man Utd have to make dominance count'published at 20:40 BST

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    Rachel Brown-Finnis
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Three

    Man Utd are the reason Chelsea aren't at it, they've put the squeeze on Chelsea.

    They've got more numbers and pressing. They've got to make this count.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 53 mins

    Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea

    And indeed, Sonia Bompastor is taking action.

    Wieke Kaptein, who put Chelsea ahead, is hauled off with Alyssa Thompson sent on.

    Kaptein didn't look happy about being subbed.

    Alyssa Thompson is warming up for Chelsea.

    The Blues have not got into this second half yet.

    It is truly awful conditions in Leigh tonight. The wind is starting to visibly affect the aerial balls.

    The ball seems to be running ok on the pitch, despite the heavy rain.

    I looked away because I thought that was sailing over the bar. Fridolina Rolfo has been lively so far for Man Utd.
