Sunderland may go a player down now as Victoria Williams smashes into Gemma Davison.

The stretcher is out and Williams looks in a fair amount of pain.

In the end she is helped off the field.

And somewhere in there a final change for Sunderland and it is Shannon Ethrihgton who makes her debut, coming on for Keira Ramshaw.

Steph Roche specialises in the spectacular and she goes just wide of the post with a fine snatched effort.

Beth Mead is quick to see if the replacement goalkeeper is up to task on what is her first league appearance.

The striker meets a cross, but the ball balloons harmlessly wide.

This is the prize that the Chelsea Ladies players will be lifting in a few minutes' time...

And that is Hedvig Lindahl's last say on proceedings as Marie Hourihan comes off the bench to take the gloves.

It is a special moment for Hourihan who broke her collarbone on the final day last season. This is her first league appearance of 2016, having played in the League Cup.

Hedvig Lindahl hasn't had a lot to do for Chelsea tonight, but she refuses to give Sunderland anything.

Beth Mead looks to run onto a back pass, but the keeper races off her line to clear.

Sunderland boss Carlton Fairweather goes to his bench again and it is Abby Holmes who makes way for Charlotte Potts.

Eniola Aluko really wants her name on the score sheet tonight and she is doing everything possible to make it happen.

Again Sunderland goalkeeper Hilde Gunn Olsen deals with the thunderous effort.

Ji So-Yun, who got the party started for Chelsea with the opening goal, is replaced by Laura Coombs.

A teasing low cross is sent in by Claire Rafferty, but there was no one there to see the ball home for Chelsea's fourth.

Notts County skipper Laura Bassett picks up the first booking of the game for a challenge on Nikita Parris.

A change for Sunderland and it is Emma Kelly makes way for Steph Roche.

Oh, how it would ignite the game for the neutrals if Roche could pull of a goal anything close to the one which saw her nominated for the Fifa Puskas Award.

Sunderland with successive corners but little trouble for Hedvig Lindahl as she punches clear to defuse any danger.

With a crowd of 2,710 at Staines Town is seems that a club-record crowd will witness Chelsea claim their maiden title today.
