More danger for Brighton as Tottenham come again but this time down the left. Martha Thomas is found in the box but she can't direct an effort on target. Should be doing better really.

Close again for Palace!

Clarissa Larisey goes through on goal and has Sabrina D'Angelo at her mercy but shoots wide.

Make a note of that miss for later. It could be very important come the final whistle.

Crystal Palace have started the second half exactly as they finished the first.

Ashleigh Weerden takes an crack at goal from the right-hand side and sees her low effort go just wide.

We're back under way in this relegation battle.

Can Crystal Palace hold on for a crucial three points?

Lively start from Tottenham as they force Melina Loeck to venture from her goal and collect another cross.

Early danger for Brighton to deal with as Drew Spence delivers a teasing cross but Melina Loeck gathers well.

We're under way at Brisbane Road. Plenty of goals, please!

The teams are out at Brisbane Road so let's have a little reminder of each starting XI this afternoon.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Dario Vidosic is not concerned despite his side's failure to win any of their last seven Women's Super League games.

A strong start to the season means the Seagulls are still fifth in the table, but they have claimed just three of the last 21 points available with their last victory coming in November.

"You learn a lot about the squad and myself, about things we can do differently, on and off the pitch," Vidosic said.

"It's easy when you win, the sun seems brighter, but we need these periods to learn what needs fixing. Hopefully we'll come out a better team and myself a better coach."

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Robert Vilahamn believes January signing Olivia Holdt can give his side the 'X-factor' they have been missing.

Holdt scored a 95th-minute winner against Crystal Palace on her debut and has since made three more substitute appearances.

"We signed a really good player and person, she brings smiles to faces, she's a funny person," Vilahamn said.

"She's getting back to the shape she was in Sweden. You can tell she is back, she showed she has X-factor that we don't have in this team.

While we wait for today's Women's Super League action to get back under way, here are the highlights from Saturday's Women's League Cup final.

Chelsea defeated Manchester City 2-1 to keep their hopes of a quadruple alive.

Three defeats on the spin is enough to put any side under pressure and Tottenham are no different.

Robert Vilahamn's side have played, and lost, to three of the top four but will now be looking for a return to winning ways.

Who will be the best of the rest?

With the WSL big four occupying the top four spots in the league, who will finish in fifth?

A win for Brighton here will take them above Liverpool - who beat Manchester United 3-1 on Friday night.

Half-time at the VBS Community Stadium and it's advantage Crystal Palace, who lead 1-0 through Aniek Nouwen's 33rd minute header.

Aston Villa dominated possession during the first period and spent plenty of time camped around Crystal Palace's area. However, the hosts pounced when they had a rare opportunity in front of goal and are now just 45 minutes away from only their second league win of the season.

Huge let off for Aston Villa! The ball is cut back to Clarissa Larisey in the penalty area and her effort is just wide.

Villa will be happy to hang on to their one goal deficit at half-time.

Crystal Palace have another corner on the stroke of half-time.

Paula Thomas dispossesses Ashleigh Weerden near the halfway line but somehow puts the ball out of play for a corner. That was... curious.

Ashleigh Weerden is a bundle of energy for Crystal Palace, counter-attacking down the right and making a bit of a nuisance of herself.

That goal has really changed the mood in the Palace team.

What can Aston Villa do in response? They make another good move forward with some nice link-up play between Ebony Salmon, Rachel Daly, and Kirsty Hanson but Hanson's cross goes straight into the arms of Shae Yanez.

I think that's Crystal Palace's first shot and it's come in the 32nd minute.

Lily Woodham sees space open up in front of her and decides to take a crack at goal. However, it's easily saved by Sabrina D'Angelo.

And there's another shot! This time D'Angelo pushes it out of play for a corner.

Much better from Crystal Palace.
