    Emma Hayes needs to look at making some changes now. If Chelsea don't score the next goal, and soon, it's going to be very tough for them.

    England's Toni Duggan steps up, calm as you like, sends Rebecca Spencer the wrong way and rolls the ball, low into the back of the net.

    Man City are rewarded for their energetic start to the second half. Is that the goal that seals their first title?

    That's a clear penalty! City's Lucy Bronze beats Gilly Flaherty to the ball and is fouled by the Chelsea defender, sliding in just a little too late. The referee points to the spot.

    As Jo alludes to there, in the first half at the Academy Stadium, Chelsea had just three shots.

    They'll need to test City keeper Karen Bardsley a lot more in the second half if they are to have any chance of scoring twice against a defence that has only conceded three times in the league in 2016.

    It's not been the best WSL game we've seen this season, despite them being the best two sides, but I think City deserve their lead.

    Chelsea's problem was that they didn't really worry City's defence. They've got such scoring power in their side, but I don't know where the goals are going to come from.

    Meanwhile, in the second tier, Yeovil Town are on top against Everton and on course to take a big step towards promotion, as things stand. Here are half-time WSL 2 scores:

    • Millwall Lionesses 2-0 Watford Ladies
    • Oxford United Women 0-0 Aston Villa Ladies
    • Sheffield FC Ladies 0-1 London Bees
    • Yeovil Town Ladies 1-0 Everton Ladies

    A win would send Yeovil to the top of the table and put promotion in their own hands, with two matches remaining.

    City soaked up the early pressure from Chelsea and have looked dangerous on the break. They've had most of the possession and made it count with the goal from the corner.

    Eniola Aluko scuffs a volleyed effort wide for Chelsea and, with that, the half-time whistle blows.

    The visitors need a big team talk from Emma Hayes.

    We're approaching half-time and Man City will be very happy with how things have gone so far.

    They're in control and in the lead.

    Chelsea's Eni Aluko looks to play in Katie Chapman down the left flank but Chapman is ruled to be fractionally offside.

    Frustration for the visitors at the moment.

    Toni Duggan looks hurt after tackling Chelsea's Jade Bailey. It looks like she'll continue, for now.

    'Blue Moon' can be heard around the Academy Stadium.

    Chelsea need at least two goals or City will be the champions come 15:55 BST.

    It was a brilliant corner by Toni Duggan - I know she's been working on her corners - and it was a really brave header from Jill Scott to put it into the far corner.

    And from their third consecutive corner, the leaders are ahead!

    England midfielder Jill Scott jumps highest to glance towards goal but the final touch may have come off a Chelsea defender.

    Do City care? Not at all! They're heading for the title as it stands.

    Man City take a corner short and Nikita Parris tries to catch Chelsea out on the byline, but her shot from a very narrow angle is blocked wide for another corner.

    The subsequent delivery finds the head of Jill Scott but deflects wide for another City corner.
