  1. Arsenal Ladies 0-0 Chelsea Ladiespublished at 10 mins

    Arsenal's Danielle van de Donk, looking to build on her FA Cup hat-trick from Sunday, rises well in the box and looks to glance a header goalwards but she can't hit the target.

    That was Arsenal's best move so far.

  2. Arsenal Ladies 0-0 Chelsea Ladiespublished at 8 mins

    The first chance of the game is Chelsea's and Karen Carney is almost on the end of a good cross from Drew Spence, but Arsenal's Alex Scott does very well to get her foot in there first, or Carney would surely have scored.

    Good defending there from the England right-back.

  3. Arsenal Ladies 0-0 Chelsea Ladiespublished at 6 mins

    Arsenal's Jordan Nobbs has been penalised for a foul on her England colleague Karen Carney.

    There's no booking, but on another day perhaps Nobbs might have gone into the referee's book there.

    She came in with her studs high over the ball. But no harm done, there was no malice in the challenge and Carney is fine.

  4. Arsenal Ladies 0-0 Chelsea Ladiespublished at 3 mins

    Chelsea are seeing most of the ball in these very early stages.

    The champions took four points from their two league fixtures against Arsenal last season, drawing 0-0 at home and winning at Boreham Wood FC later in the campaign.

  10. A Wembley precursorpublished at 17:50

    And that leads us nicely on to a quick recap of Sunday's entertaining Women's FA Cup semi-finals, which saw victories for both of tonight's teams.

    Holders Chelsea came from behind to beat Manchester City thanks to Fran Kirby's last-gasp winner, while 13-time winners Arsenal cruised to a surprisingly comfortable 7-0 (yes, seven) win over Sunderland.

    That means that these two sides will contest an all-London final at Wembley on Saturday, 14 May.

    So who will learn more about their opponents this evening? What psychological advantages can either team gain ahead of arguably the biggest match of the season, at the home of English football?

  11. Stuttering start to the schedulepublished at 17:48

    Arsenal Ladies v Chelsea Ladies (18:00 BST)

    For six of the nine teams in Women's Super League One, the 2016 season - which began on 23 March - is still just one match old.

    In fact, 24 days have passed since the last match in this league - when tonight's hosts Arsenal were beaten 2-0 away at leaders Manchester City.

    But in that time, there has been no shortage of drama, as England found late goals to earn four points from two dramatic Euro 2017 qualifiers and we discovered who will contest this year's Women's FA Cup final.
