    Well, that was a lot more competitive than some might have expected. Big blow for Liverpool, given how close they ran Arsenal, but a huge three points for an out-of-sorts Gunners side.

    Rinsola Babajide is trying to create a late chance for the hosts down their right flank. It's getting towards 'last chance' saloon.

    Liverpool boss Vicky Jepson is going for it. She’s taken off Jade Bailey and put Jess Clarke up top, with Rinsola Babajide also providing an outlet on the break.

    Tonight's attendance is just 660. The game was moved to Chester, rather than Liverpool Women's usual home at Tranmere Rovers' ground, because of ongoing issues with the Prenton Park pitch.

    I was just about to write how big a result a draw would be for Liverpool...

    Arsenal need a win to keep their title hopes alive. Chelsea, above the Gunners in second, still have a game in hand. That goal is huge for them.

    GOAL: Liverpool 2-3 Arsenalpublished at 78 mins

    Vivianne Miedema

    Another twist. It's Vivianne Miedema again. Two for the night for her and 16 in the league this season.

    The WSL's top scorer heads in from Leonie Maier's well-placed right-wing cross.

    That could be a very, very big goal for the Gunners.

    Liverpool have reversed the only change they made to their starting line-up from their previous league game before kick-off, with Rhiannon Roberts replacing Kirsty Linnett.

    Meanwhile, Arsenal are continuing to up the tempo...

    That was unusual from Vivianne Miedema, who hit it so far over the bar it flew into the car park over the Harry McNally Terrace. Then Liverpool keeper Anke Preuss reacted well to make a decent save. This game is on a knife edge!

    Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal

    This time Vivianne Miedema is denied by a smart, low save from Anke Preuss.

    This is a better spell of pressure now from the Gunners.

    Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal

    In the WSL, Arsenal are bidding to bounce back after two straight defeats damaged their title hopes, but it's not gone their way so far since the break.

    Vivianne Miedema turns and creates a decent chance for herself just outside the box, but she fires over the bar.

    This doesn’t look good for Beth Mead. You could hear how much pain she was in. The referee initially gestured for a stretcher before Leah Williamson helped Mead hop off the pitch with the help of the medical team. England boss Phil Neville, who has been watching on from the stands, went straight down to the tunnel. He will be concerned. England’s defence of the SheBelieves Cup title begins in Orlando on 5 March.
