Manchester City

Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor speaking to BBC Two after his side's 1-0 win against Brighton earlier today: “Performance wise, without the ball I thought we were excellent. Brighton are a very well-coached team, you can see Dario has brought in new ideas and I think they're gonna surprise a few teams this season with the way they play, they can cause a lot of problems. We nullified that really well with our press, in possession stuff was okay but we had a lot of chances, many chances to score a second and I felt if we got that we probably could have opened up and maybe got three or four.

"The good thing, what I really enjoyed today was having to defend the lead and when you think about what we've done so far this season, four points taken, we didn't take any of those last season - nothing off of Arsenal and we lost this game home, we are already four points up on that which is pleasing.

"Certainly some little bits of finishing to work on but really pleased for the team because we worked tremendously hard today."

On the rustiness in front of goal: “Well, you work on it in training and hope it clicks in games. Opportunities today, we probably won’t get many more to really open up and they came from pressing, winning the ball back, gaining opportunities but just the final action let us down.

"I have to say in the three games previous we've scored five, two and three so we've been there and sometimes you can get that if it needs to be 1-0 I’m happy.”

It's all over on Merseyside and Grace Clinton's fourth-minute strike takes Manchester United to six points out of a possible six. It wasn't the prettiest of performances but the win is all that matters.

Despite a much-improved performance, Everton remain without a point in their opening two WSL matches.

Manchester United should really be out of sight by now. With Everton pushing forward in search of an equaliser, gaps are left at the back and Melvine Malard is left in acres of space with the goal at her mercy.

She hesitates but manages to get her shot off but Courtney Brosnan saves well.

There's a big team talk on the way for West Ham boss Rehanne Skinner.

Liverpool have avoided defeat in their last 7 matches when scoring first, while the Hammers have failed to win any of their last 8 WSL matches when conceding first.

Aston Villa boss Robert de Pauw has made one change to his team from the side that lost 1-0 to defending champions Chelsea on the opening weekend.

Scottish forward Kirsty Hanson comes into the starting line-up, with Lucy Staniforth returning to the bench.

That change is set to see Missy-Bo Kearns drop into a deeper midfield role alongside the experienced Jordan Nobbs.

Aston Villa: D'Angelo; Maritz, Patten, Parker, Tomas; Nobbs, Kearns; Grant, Hanson, Dali; Daly

Subs: Poor, Robinson, Salmon, Leon, Staniforth, Mayling, Taylor, Turner, Pacheco

Tottenham manager Robert Vilahamn has named an unchanged starting side from the team that beat Crystal Palace 4-0 a week ago.

Hayley Raso, Jess Naz and Drew Spence, who all scored against Palace, are among those to keep their places.

The only change from that matchday squad comes on the bench, with Ella Morris replacing Luana Buhler.

Tottenham: Spencer; Neville, Bartrip, Hunt, Nilden; Oroz, Summanen; Raso, Spence, Naz; Thomas

Subs: Talbert, Grant, England, Csiki, Ahtinen, Gunning-Williams, Vinberg, Morris, Dennis

What a piece of defending that is from Justine Vanhaevermaet to keep Everton in touching distance.

There's a terrible mix-up for Everton and Hinata Miyazawa strikes towards an open goal but Vanhaevermaet brilliantly positions herself to head clear.

That's all for Ella Toone as she is replaced by Hinata Miyazawa. The England star was on the periphery of the game after being marshaled well by the Everton defence.

The visitors take a narrow lead into the break thanks to Olivia Smith's first Liverpool goal.

There have been shoots of promise for hosts West Ham to build on however, if they can just find that crucial piece of quality in the final third.

Missy Goodwin has been a bright spark for Leicester in the opening 45 minutes and it's her blocked shot that is the final bit of action as the referee signals half-time.

Arsenal are going to need something special to break through this solid Foxes defence.

Momentary panic in the Liverpool defence.

Superb pressing from Riko Ueki sees Rachel Laws on the run, but thankfully for the visitors the keeper's clearance hits off the forward and rolls behind for a goal kick.

Leicester's Ruby Mace denies her former side the opening goal as she halts Alessia Russo's driving run into the box by blocking her attempt at goal.

There will be two minutes of added time to bring this half to an end.

We head into three additional minutes at the end of the first half.

Manchester United have a free kick in a shooting position and it's Dominique Janssen who pulls rank over Grace Clinton.

Her effort isn't the worst you'll see but it doesn't trouble Courtney Brosnan.

Another promising West Ham attack ends with a poor final ball.

They did so well to work the ball out from left to right but the long ball forward from Shannon Cooke floats harmlessly into the arms of Rachel Laws.

Oh that's poor from Manchester United as they look to counter. Grace Clinton uses her strength to break free and find Ella Toone. She then looks to slip in Celin Bizet but she's miles offside.

A West Ham wide free kick is curled into the box and it is excellent keeping from Rachel Laws to quell the danger for Liverpool.

She waves to the bench for treatment immediately aftermaking the catch, but after a brief chat with the physio she looks ok to continue.

Lize Kop, take a bow.

That is a superb fingertip save to deny Lia Walti, who runs onto a lay off from Alessia Russo and slams it towards goal.

Melvine Malard is now in the book despite not being on the pitch for long! She stops an Everton attack as they push for that equaliser.

Daphne van Domselaar appears to have an issue with her back and has signalled to the medical team for some attention.

The Arsenal goalkeeper leapt through the air to try and save that Jutta Rantala effort, so perhaps she's feeling the effects of that heavy landing.

After a short break in play we're back under way.

Chance for Melvine Malard! She finds space in the box to get her head on the end of Grace Clinton's cross but can only direct the header wide. Tough opportunity in fairness.
