    Chelsea 4-0 Birmingham

    Goal difference could yet be important - at both ends of the table.

    Title-chasing Chelsea's strength in depth means they can still hunt more goals even though they have taken off five of their starters.

    And Birmingham are by no means safe from relegation.

    Women's Championship

    Leicester City are one win away from booking a Women's Super League spot next season.

    The Championship leaders host London City Lionessess at 14:00 BST - and you can listen to that game via BBC Radio Leicester commentary at the top of the page.

    A point would likely be enough to seal promotion for Leicester - given the superior goal difference advantage they hold over second-placed Durham - but a win would make it mathematically certain.

    Chelsea 4-0 Birmingham

    Chelsea's pressure is relentless and Birmingham are really beginning to look jaded.

    The visitors have made a double change. Forward Lucy Whipp and midfielder Jamie-Lee Napier are introduced,

    Chelsea make their fifth replacement, with Sam Kerr making way for Jess Carter.

    It was really good support play from Fran Kirby and a really well-timed run from Beth England who set up her team-mate.

    She made really good contact with a one-touch finish into the far corner.

    But the goal was all about good movement from a few players - Niamh Charles, England and Kirby.

    Fran Kirby finds the net from a fine pull-back by Beth England.

    Some slick approach play by Niamh Charles and Beth England on the right sees the latter tees up Kirby, who sweeps the ball in first time.

    Chelsea 3-0 Birmingham

    Sam Kerr's first-half hat-trick has taken her to the top of the Women's Super League goalscoring charts on 17 goals.

    She's two ahead of Vivianne Miedema, whose Arsenal side kick-off at relegation-threatened Bristol City in a few minutes' time.

    Check out Kerr's terrific treble here.

  9. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 45 mins

    Everton 1-0 Aston Villa

    Nervy times for Aston Villa as Everton think they have a second.

    Izzy Christiansen is again the creator, firing in a fantastic wide free-kick. Alisha Lehmann flicks the ball on to Australia international Hayley Raso who taps home.

    The hosts run to the corner flag in celebration, but the flag is up on the near side.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 57 mins

    Chelsea boss Emma Hayes makes her fourth change. Midfielder Jessie Fleming comes on.

    German international Melanie Leupolz makes way.

    Chelsea 3-0 Birmingham

    Birmingham are understandably looking a little dejected. Chelsea are pressing but it's not with total tempo.

    Fran Kiirby is a box of tricks and cute passes around the box and she jinks her way down the line and sends in a teasing cross that is cleared for a corner, which comes to nothing.

    FT: Reading 0-5 West Ham

    Aston Villa and Birmingham are both behind - and looking nervously over their shoulders after West Ham's big win yesterday.

    We've got highlights of the Hammers' 5-0 thumping of Reading by the way.

    Give them a watch, there's some stunning goals including a Martha Thomas hat-trick.

    Everton 1-0 Aston Villa

    Did you just hear that?

    I think that's the sound of cheering coming from the Bristol City and West Ham dressing rooms as news of Everton's opener filters through.

    Strugglers Villa are on course for a fifth consecutive defeat as it stands.

    Chelsea 3-0 Birmingham

    Maybe it's a slight surprise that Sam Kerr wasn't one of the three Chelsea players taken off.

    She wants to add to her hat-trick and is involved again, combining with Fran Kirby to tee up Guro Reiten, whose shot is pushed away to safety by keeper Hannah Hampton.

    Chelsea 3-0 Birmingham

    Chelsea are looking to see out a sixth consecutive WSL win.

    Jonna Andersson, Erin Cuthbert and Pernille Harder were the players to get a rest in that triple substitution by Chelsea boss Emma Hayes by the way.

    One of the replacements, Beth England, heads well wide at the near post as Chelsea swiftly go on the attack,

    Breakthrough!

    A lovely clipped ball in by Izzy Christiansen and Lucy Graham can't miss as she rises highest to head home from close range.

    Bad, bad news for bottom club Aston Villa. They'd defended so well.

  17. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Chelsea 3-0 Birmingham

    Chelsea's England striker Beth England has been warning up at the break and is coming on as part of a triple substitution. There's no let up for the visitors,

    Defender Hannah Blundell and midfielder Guro Reiten are also introduced.

    Back to Walton Hall Park and it's the same old story. Everton are dominating proceedings but can't pull off that crucial final pass.

    Aston Villa are finding a bit of success down the right on the break.

    The football continues with three more games to bring you at 14:00 BST.

    Relegation-threatened Bristol City could do with a win after West Ham's victory on Friday although they'll be up against it today when they host Arsenal.

    Gunners head coach Joe Montemurro announced he'd be stepping down at the end of the season. Top-three-chasing Arsenal will guarantee Champions League qualification if they win all their remaining league games.

    Brighton will be looking to bounce back after Everton stopped their four-match winning run with a 5-0 thrashing last time out.

    They host fourth-placed Manchester United who cruised past West Ham in their first WSL game at Old Trafford last week.

    And wow, what's happened to Tottenham? Their past five games are an ugly read. Loss, loss, draw, draw, loss.

    Spurs face in-form Manchester City who, despite being eliminated by Barcelona in the WCL quarter-finals, will be heavy favourites in London. With Chelsea likely to get all three points against Birmingham, this is a must win game if City want to keep in touch with their title rivals.
