Fara Williams has room to shoot just outside the box, but her effort is comfortably gathered by West Ham stopper Anna Moorhouse.

The Hammers took four points from these two sides' league meetings this term.

September's game - West Ham's debut in the WSL - ended goalless, before a 2-1 win for Matt Beard's side away at the Madejski Stadium in February.

Unofficially, this looks like it'll be one of the largest - if not the largest - Reading Women crowd for a game at Adams Park.

The Beechdean Stand, behind the managers' technical areas, is as good as full.

And Wycombe Wanderers' traditional away stand - behind the goal Reading are defending in this first half - is also relatively busy.

I'm told West Ham sold out their initial allocation of away tickets for this game.

"What Reading have is strength and height in abundance so they will be looking to make the most of set-pieces during the game."

The hosts win the game's first corner, which is floated in from the right flank by Fara Williams, but Rachel Furness heads it over the bar.

Reading's Lauren Bruton has the game's first shot, straight at the keeper from a tight angle, but the offside flag had already been raised.

This is a purposeful-looking start from the Royals.

The hosts' midfielder Fara Williams gets this tie started.

Reading have "already made history" no matter how they get on today, says defender Kirsty Pearce.

Royals captain Pearce told BBC South Today: "There's no pressure on us to get to the final.

"We've already made history by getting to the semi-finals. It's going to be a special moment if we get there but we first have to concentrate on the game on Sunday."

West Ham boss Matt Beard has led the Hammers to the semi-finals in his first season in charge of the side, and their first season since becoming a professional club.

Iceland forward Rakel Honnudottir, who netted Reading's last-gasp quarter-final winner over Manchester United, is on the bench for the hosts.

Visitors West Ham's XI includes Alisha Lehmann, who scored twice as they beat Reading in February.
