    Dani Buet has broken free a few times down the middle now for Notts County. She has a good turn of pace and is freeing up players out wide.

    The midfielder spent eight years with Chelsea, so knows her opposition better than anyone out there.

    "What I cannot wait to see is what Notts County have up their sleeves in terms of set pieces. I believe they've got one codenamed 'Dave' which I expect to see today."

    Things are getting physical out there. Gilly Flaherty brought Rachel Williams down and was on hand to clear the danger when the ball was put into the box.

    At the other end it is Gemma Davison who throws her body into a challenge and gives away the foul.

    Chelsea are quick on the counter with Eniola Aluko making progress down the left wing.

    "The first 15 minutes has been a little bit scrappy, and that's nerves. It's a massive occasion and neither team has got into their passing game."

    Ji So-Yun with her back to goal and just on the edge of the area. That spells real danger for Notts County.

    But Magpies captain Laura Bassett stays composed and intercepts Ji's audacious little flick attempt on the spin.

    Gemma Davison lashes the ball into the side netting.

    When you need someone to be a menace, good chance it is going to be Davison making noise. She scored twice on her league debut for Chelsea this season and that was enough to get the better of Notts on the opening day of the season.

    From a corner Chelsea don't trouble Notts County, but from deep Claire Rafferty sends the ball high and long. Now in normal circumstances, it would mean nothing but it did call on Carly Telford to come out and collect.

    Considering goalkeeper Telford is just back from a shoulder injury, testing her fitness is not a bad idea.

    BBC Sport's Tom Garry at Wembley: "Chelsea haven't really got going yet and Notts County are seeing a fair amount of the ball.

    "Perhaps there are some nerves among the Blues players. They'll want to get the ball out wide to use the pace of Gemma Davison and Eni Aluko more as this game goes on."

    Notts County midfielder Leanne Crichton tries to link up with Rachel Williams by slipping a nice ball into the box. However, the Scotland international was a bit overzealous.

    Chelsea's defence are dealing with everything with ease, but how long will it be before their attacking force comes down on the Magpies?

    Notts County goalkeeper Carly Telford has got her hands on the ball twice, but Chelsea are not making any threatening inroads.

    The Magpies have poked and prodded though the middle and searched for spaces down the flanks. They certainly look keen to get to grips with the occasion in a hurry.

  13. The expert pickspublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 1 August 2015

    With the game still goalless, here's how the pundits think it will go:

    Ex-England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis: "If I had to put money on this game, I think it's going to be tight, but I'd have to go with Notts County."

    England and Arsenal defender Alex Scott: "I think Chelsea will come out winners. They have players such as Eniola Aluko and Ji So-Yun, so they can find that extra edge and score goals."

    Ex-England and Doncaster forward Sue Smith: "Neither team are in the greatest form at the moment. I'm going to go for Notts County and I think it's going to be 2-1."

    Chelsea defender Claire Rafferty makes sure that she introduces herself to as many Notts County players as she can.

    She took down Rachel Williams for the free-kick and just bundled Jess Clarke over for good measure.

    Notts County getting a good feel for the ball here and Rachel Williams wins a free kick on the left. Danger for Chelsea to defend early on.

    However, Alex Greenwood puts a little too much on the and no harm done.

  16. KICK-OFFpublished at 15:02 British Summer Time 1 August 2015

    BBC Sport's Tom Garry at Wembley: "As the teams were read out, the loudest cheer by far was for Laura Bassett."

    Bassett, you might remember, scored the own goal that resulted in England losing to Japan in the World Cup semi-final.
