    GOAL: Arsenal Women 0-2 Chelsea Ladiespublished at 60 mins

    Ramona Bachmann

    That's another great goal by Ramona Bachmann. She cuts in from the right, bamboozles the defence with a couple of stepovers and finds the far corner.

    It took a deflection on the way but could well have been arrowing its way in anyway.

    A few challenges are flying in now and one or two words being exchanged. It's a London derby after all. There was bound to be some spice.

    Chelsea's 2016 FA Cup final defeat really hurt. They are desperate not to be on the losing side again.

    The game has stayed open.

    Arsenal's Kim Little runs and runs and runs at the Chelsea defence, who back off

    Eventually the Blues clear when Little plays the ball across.

    Katie Chapman and Danielle Van de Donk have a bit of 'To-Do'.

    Chelsea midfielder Chapman accidentally stands on the Arsenal player as they tussle and there are a few words and a glare or two.

    What a great start to the second half by Chelsea and who else but Fran Kirby and Ramona Bachmann linking up, they play so well together.

    Kirby knows exactly where Bachmann wants it and that is a top-class finish.

    Arsenal have a shot on target at last.

    Beth Mead cuts in and her deflected strike is saved by Hedvig Lindahl.

    It's a bit untidy, as it bounces back off her body and has to be cleared for a corner, which comes to nothing.

    Ramona Bachmann

    That was a goal worth waiting for from the Swiss international.

    It's no surprise that Fran Kirby is instrumental in the build-up playing a lovely pass through to Ramona Bachmann who smashed the ball into the roof of the net.

    Chelsea are on top and Arsenal will be the happier of the two sides that it is still 0-0.

    The fluid play between Ji So-Yun, Fran Kirby and Ramona Bachmann has been sensational at times and that is what has been causing the damage for the Arsenal back line.

    Away from chasing FA Cup glory for a moment...

    Both sides are also still involved in the Women's Super League title run-in.

    Chelsea are level on points with Manchester City at the top of the table, but City have a superior goal difference of two.

    They top two have four games remaining, and while Arsenal are not out of it yet, their hopes are slim.

    The Gunners lie fourth, four points off the pace but having played one game more than the leading duo. They do still have to play City though.

  12. 'I'm only a role model because I'm female'published at 18:29 British Summer Time 5 May 2018

    While we take a breather, Chelsea Ladies manager Emma Hayes had some interesting things to say about her position in the build-up to the match.

    She said people call her a "role model" because she is female when she wants to be known for her coaching success.

    The 41-year-old, who is 33 weeks pregnant with twins, will not walk her side out after health advice, but plans to follow the game from the dugout.

    She said: "While of course I want to influence other females in the game, more importantly I want to be renowned for being good tactically, being an outstanding coach who delivers well on the grass, who gets the best out of my players and who ultimately competes for titles year in, year out."

  13. 'Chelsea's link up play has been superb'published at 18:26

    Arsenal started brightly but Chelsea were getting more possession and some of their their link up play as the half went on was exquisite.

    Arsenal needed half-time to come so they can regroup.

    The game is yet to really live up to the hype, but both sides will have reason for optimism at the break.

    Arsenal appeared to install a few nerves within the Chelsea defence early on, and have shown they are dangerous, but the Blues have ended the half arguably the stronger.

    Yet, with so many expectant people here at Wembley, and so many viewers watching live on BBC One at home, some more goalmouth action is needed in the second half to boost the excitement levels.

    Someone needs to produce a moment of magic.

    No more chances. And we have a scoreless first half.

    It's been pretty even. Chelsea have probably edged it and have certainly had the better of what few chances have been on offer.

    Arsenal haven't mustered an effort on target so far.

  16. CLOSE!published at 44 mins

    That's as close as we have come to a goal.

    Ji So-Yun smashed a first-time shot over the bar after a good move on the right.

    Chelsea are ending the half well.

    There will be one minute of injury time.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 43 mins

    Ji So-Yun's free-kick is easily saved by Sari Van Veenendaal.

    Dominique Janssen was booked for that foul.

    Less than five minutes to go before the break.

    Both sides will know they can perform much better than this.

    Chelsea now have a free-kick on the edge of the box after a foul by Dominique Janssen.

    It's not lived up to the billing so far. So much quality on show, but we've not really seen.

    Fran Kirby for Chelsea, and Arsenal's Beth Mead have provided a spark. But the chances are hardly free-flowing.

    There's a bit of a lull at the moment.

    The final ball is lacking from both teams. They have both got into good situations and good areas but are lacking that final pass.
