    Miri Taylor (36 mins)

    Breakthrough!

    United fail to deal with a corner into the box and as it drops to the edge of the area Miri Taylor strides onto it and smashes a volley past Phallon Tullis-Joyce and into the United net.

    Got to agree with our resident expert Chloe.

    Arsenal's best chances of success so far in this game have come out wide, and with Cailtin Foord in such sparkling form you'd think she's the best placed to create something on that left wing.

    Jayde Riviere launches a long throw into the box which Villa clear. United recycle it to the Canadian to launch another cross in but she's shepherded out of play without finding the delivery.

    Arsenal are finding a lot of luck on that left-hand side. Chelsea are doing so well at getting back and making areas so congested.

    But the left side is creating opportunities for Arsenal, with a few coming in the last minutes.

    Shame the rest of the move didn't match Foord's quality there.

    McCabe's cross into the middle was easily cleared by Chelsea centre-half Nathalie Bjorn.

    Roars of approval from the home crowd as Caitlin Foord picks up the ball in the pocket in front of the Chelsea defence, dances past several challenges and rolls the ball out to invite Katie McCabe forward.

    Sublime footwork.

    I'd forgotten how threadbare our defence was, and it's getting exposed regularly now with Williamson out. Combined with a first-choice midfield quite a bit older than the teams we go up against, I'm not sure this should be a surprise.

    Manchester United 0-0 Aston Villa

    Mullett's shot was the first one either side has had on target in Leigh. Not the most high quality contest this first half hour.

    Hannah Hampton's sliced clearance was met by a brilliant header in the crowd.

    Will never not be funny for some reason!

    Manchester United 0-0 Aston Villa

    Kirsty Hanson picks up the ball and drives forward brilliantly to leave several United defenders in her wake.

    She gets her head up well and picks out Georgia Mullett in the middle but the youngster fires it straight at Phallon Tullis-Joyce. A golden chance to take the lead.

    Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea

    Lovely link up between Beth Mead and Emily Fox to get in behind Niamh Charles on the Arsenal righ but Wieke Kaptein's defensive covering is excellent, and she even manages to clear it off Fox and out for a blue throw in.

    Fridolina Rolfo weaves inside her full back and goes for goal from range on her weaker right foot but it's poor and was always straying away from the Villa net.

  13. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 12:25 GMT

    Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea

    Arsenal want a penalty as Steph Catley collides with Chelsea skipper Millie Bright in a melee from the resulting corner.

    Looked more of a coming together than anything.

    Sometimes I think when you get into those spaces, they're going to be few and far between, and they have to get the shot away instead of trying to walk it into the net.

    There are gasps from the Arsenal crowd as Caitlin Foord dances around Lucy Bronze in the box before Wieke Kaptein gets back in with a vital challenge.

    That's about as close as the Gunners have got so far.

    That far side is the danger area of the pitch so far in this game.

    Caitlin Foord tricks her way past Lucy Bronze to get into the Chelsea box and looks to pick out Mariona Caldentey but the ball is taken off the toes of last seasons WSL Player of the Year before she can take aim.

    This is better from Arsenal. They've managed to stem the Chelsea attacking machine for the time being and are just starting to build up some passages of play.

    Manchester United 0-0 Aston Villa

    Villa skipper for the day Missy Bo Kearns does well to hold up play in the right channel and roll the ball back to Chasity Grant to cross but again the final ball is poor and rolls harmlessly into the arms of United keeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce.

    The visitors are just lacking that bit of finesse at the minute.

    Surprised not to see Hinds playing, McCabe's looking well off the pace in this game.

    Ali - London

    It has indeed been a tough start to the game for McCabe, particularly with Bronze doubling up with Johanna Rytting Kaneryd on that side for Chelsea.

    Sabrina D'Angelo goes for the route one approach to try and pick out Chasity Grant up top for Villa.

    The Dutch winger does manage to nod the ball onto Miri Taylor but the return pass is poor and drifts behind for a United goal kick.
