Anouk Denton is replaced by Kirsty Smith for West Ham

Aimee Everett is down and receiving treatment once again. She's struggling.

Another decent Liverpool effort. Jenna Clark sends a header just wide from a corner.

Kirsty Hanson picks up the ball in the penalty area, turns and gets a low powerful shot away but it hammers straight into her teammate Rachel Daly.

Get out the way, Rach!

Aimee Everett is fine to play on and the game continues.

How much will that sending off change the game's dynamic? Crystal Palace are searching for a way back.

Just over five minutes to go until half time. Can either side sneak one before the break?

Villa have looked well-organised and defended well but haven't took their chances when they have arrived.

Brighton's Maisie Symonds has been shown a straight red card!

She slides into Aimee Everett and is sent off.

It's Symonds' 22nd birthday today. Not the sort of card she would have been expecting.

Another really good ball into the box, this time from Kirsty Hanson on the right-hand side.

Nathalie Bjorn does enough to just take it off the toes of Rachel Daly and concedes the corner, which comes to nothing.

It seemed to me like Nobbs was in two minds there when it came to the final decision.

We know she is a player capable of being able to hit the target there.

Aston Villa growing into this.

Jordan Nobbs pings it forward to Rachel Daly and the striker shifts it across to Chasity Grant but the flag shoots up.

They are under way at Walton Hall Park again.

We are back under way at Broadfield Stadium.

A rare foray into the Chelsea penalty area for Aston Villa but the shot is parried away. It comes back out to Jordan Nobbs but it's a poor cross/shot and doesn't hit the target or find a teammate.

Chelsea look to get on the counter attack but it quickly breaks down as Aston Villa just manage to take the sting out of it and put the pressure on the Chelsea attackers.

Niamh Charles is deemed to be offside out on the left.

Aggie Beever-Jones is claiming for a penalty but the referee is having none of it. It was just a bit of a grapple with Noelle Maritz but nothing major.

Aston Villa survive as the ball comes in and Millie Bright flicks it into a dangerous area but, luckily for the home side, there's no Chelsea players lurking around the six-yard box to stab it home.

Aston Villa have done really well so far to keep Chelsea out.

The visitors have had three shots but not managed to get any on target.

Chelsea are finding it a little bit easier to find the space and pick the pockets.

The Aston Villa players are just switching off a little bit, especially when it comes into the middle third.

Chelsea have another corner, this time it's played short then curled in by Catarina Macario but Niamh Charles gets the header all wrong at the back post and heads it backwards rather than towards the target.
