The hosts are on top at the moment. Wales midfielder Hayley Ladd wins them a free-kick on the edge of the box, to the right of centre, and Katie Zelem bends it around the wall nicely... But it's saved by Anke Preuss.

There was some concern for Liverpool's Niamh Fahey, who went down in the box following another Man Utd attack. She's back on her feet now and Jemma Purfield - a likely substitute - has been sent back to the dugout.

United win a free-kick outside the box but Lauren James scuffs it high and wide of goal.

United's Leah Galton plays a low cross across the penalty area and it almost finds a way in at the far post, but there's nobody on the end of it for the hosts.

The closest either side has come to opening the scoring was when United's 17-year-old forward Lauren James struck the bar late in the first half.

At the other end, Rinsola Babajide has offered Liverpool's greatest threat.

We're back under way for the second half. Both of these sides are searching for their first WSL goals of this campaign.

Plenty of endeavour from both sides but not goals yet. Off they go for a breather.

There'll be one minute added on at the end of this first half.

There’s definitely a derby feel about this. Man Utd’s fans have sang about Liverpool boss Vicky Jepson - which she laughed at and applauded - and they have accused the referee of “being a scouser”. They are having fun but Casey Stoney doesn't seem to be. She’s just swung a leg at a water bottle and missed. Frustration is building.

The game's first yellow card goes to Liverpool's Mel Lawley, for a poor challenge on Ella Toone.

Now Lauren James gets two attempts to shoot from the edge of the box, but the first is blocked and the second is held by Anke Preuss.

Oh, so close to the opener! Lauren James creates room for herself to shoot in the area but the United youngster's effort bounces back off the bar!

The keeper was beaten.

Liverpool's Courtney Sweetman-Kirk heads straight at Mary Earps, but the offside flag was up against the visitors' striker anyway.

We've just over 10 minutes to go before the break and both of these sides are still searching for their first league goals of the season.
