    Manchester United 0-1 Aston Villa

    Free kick to Villa wide left of the United box after Missy Bo Kearns is fouled. Can they take advantage of another set piece here?

    Renee Slegers will be so frustrated with these opportunities. They have done so well to win the ball back, and then the end result is too slow.

    These are standard saves for Hannah Hampton.

    Another golden opening for Arsenal as they carve Chelsea open on the right before Mariona Caldentey rolls a shot at Hannah Hampton.

    She didn't quite get hold of it in the end. Shame.

    Millie Bright is doing her best to get Arsenal back into this game.

    The Chelsea skipper needs to settle down.

    Ooo that was nearly a disaster for Chelsea as skipper Millie Bright panics under pressure and presents the ball to former England colleague Beth Mead in the Chelsea final third.

    Arsenal can't make the most of it though and the chance to level is lost.

    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.

    Manchester United 0-0 Aston Villa

    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.

    Manchester United 0-0 Aston Villa

    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.

  18. 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.
