Fran Kirby and Sam Kerr have now combined for an incredible 50 goals in all competitions this season.

Their partnership is as good as anything in world football right now - men or women.

We're into the closing stages at Meadow Park and it's been a quiet one in the first half.

Villa won't mind that it's goalless, though, as they're staying up as it stands.

Pernille Harder climbs highest to reach Melanie Leupolz's deep cross into the box.

But Royals right-back Kristine Leine does enough to put off the Chelsea forward.

Tottenham go close to an opener, as Chloe Peplow's diagonal pass meets Ash Neville on the right wing.

Neville connects with Lucy Quinn who sets her up for a cross, but the ball evades Rachel Williams at the back post.

Brighton almost double their lead through Ellie Brazil who's one-on-one with Bristol City keeper Sophie Baggaley, but she does well to deny her the goal.

A huge let off for Bristol City.

Sam Mewis steps up for City, but is denied from 12 yards.

The USA international goes to tuck the ball inside the left-hand upright, but Hammers keeper Mackenzie Arnold dives to her right to claw it away!

Good save by the keeper, who makes amends for giving away the spot-kick.

It's not been the visitors' afternoon so far.

A ball over the top sends Ellen White into the West Ham area.

Mackenzie Arnold attempts to close the angle and shut down the England striker, but manages to trip her.

She can't have many complaints.

Chelsea haven't been at their flowing best today.

Pernille Harder misjudges a cross into the box by Ji So-yun.

But Emma Hayes' side are still doing enough to retain the title.

Half an hour gone at The People's Pension Stadium, and Brighton still have the upper hand with a one-goal lead.

Bristol City would be relegated if the scoreline stays like this, so they really need to get themselves back in this or their time in the WSL is over.

Can Matt Beard's side make a comeback?

A combination of a block by Gilly Flaherty and a touch by keeper Mackenzie Arnold stops City from taking the lead.

Lauren Hemp's header down from a cross from the right falls to Caroline Weir, who is denied by a combination of defender and keeper.

City have won 13 of their past 14 WSL games and are firmly on top.

But they are lacking a cutting edge in front of goal.

Half an hour gone at Kingsmeadow and, as things stand, Melanie Leupolz's second-minute strike has Chelsea on course for the WSL title.

If the Blues concede, that could open the door to Manchester City.

Manchester City are being frustrated by a committed West Ham so far this afternoon.

Janine Beckie has just seen another effort go off target for the visitors.

A bit of concern for Chelsea captain Magdalena Eriksson, who needs some treatment after clattering into teammate Jess Carter while challenging for an aerial ball.

The Blues will hope their influential captain is okay, especially with the Champions League final a week away.

The Sweden centre-back needs a bit of attention to her nose, but looks alright to carry on.

A corner is played short to Jessica Naz, but Hannah Hampton saves comfortably.

Both sides have shared possession so far, and we've yet to have any clear-cut chances.

City hit back and hit the bar.

Caroline Weir sees her effort rattle the frame of the goal, and Ellen White heads the rebound wide.

Midway through the first half and West Ham almost take the lead on the counter-attack.

Hawa Cissoko advances out of defence, beats a couple of City players and advances over halfway.

She gives the ball to Kenza Dali, who crosses to the back post.

Cissoko sends a spectacular volley attempt across goal and wide.

A clean sheet here for Blues keeper Ann-Katrin Berger will secure the WSL Golden Glove award.

The German is currently level with Man City keeper Ellie Roebuck on 11 clean sheets.

Roebuck isn't playing today.

Berger hasn't been massively threatened in the first 20 minutes, but has had a couple of bits and pieces to mop up.

A bright start at Meadow Park after Stine Larsen almost gets on the end of Asmita Ale's cross.

Minutes later, Lisa Weiss denies Arsenal an opener, saving Vivianne Miedema's effort at point-blank range.

Almost a second for Chelsea as Sam Kerr sees a low shot from inside the block blocked behind by Royals centre-back Deanna Cooper.

Kerr is hoping to move past 20 WSL goals for the season and become just the second woman to do so.
