Oh my days, Arsenal almost make a total mess of trying to defend that corner.

Goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger and her team-mate Vivianne Miedema both attack it at the near post. Neither of them deal with it, and the ball bounces just in front of the goal line.

That should have been 2-0!

Emma Harries finds Natasha Dowie with a pass that cuts the Leicester defence open, but the striker spurns the chance for her second, sending a weak shot straight at the keeper.

Arsenal have 20 minutes to salvage something from this game.

Right now, they have to deal with another Birmingham City corner.

Arsenal's Vivianne Miedema looks dangerous as she runs at Louise Quinn and into the box. While the Dutch striker is able to dig out a shot, the defender does well to put her off.

The results is a tame shot which Emily Ramsey is able to clutch.

Captain Louise Quinn has been immense for Birmingham City. She clears a cross for a corner and Blues deal with the set-piece.

Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall turns to his bench looking for answers now.

England defender Lotte Wubben-Moy comes on to replace Simone Boye Sorensen.

Shannon O'Brien lets fly from distance but her shot goes straight at Grace Moloney in the Reading goal.

Seconds later, Esme De Graaf gets away from a defender and slides a shot across the face of goal. Leicester are having their best spell so far.

Arsenal's Mana Iwabuchi is first to be cautioned in this game for a badly times challenge.

Arsenal are labouring to create clear cut chance, with Katie McCabe having their latest shot blocked.

From this evidence, I'm not sure they have one, let alone two goals in them to rescue a result.

Birmingham threaten to make it three at the other end.

Veatriki Sarri tests Manuela Zinsberger with a low shot from the edge of the area. The rebound can't be controlled and the chance is gone.

Natasha Dowie pulls the goalie wide and slides the ball into the far corner - but the flag is up for offside.

As it stands, Birmingham's lead over Arsenal means that Leicester will go to the foot of the WSL if it stays like it is.

They've been better at the start of the second half here, but no goal threat as yet.

Arsenal with their best chance to pull a goal back!

Gemma Lawley is back to block a shot from Kim Little in front of an empty net after Vivianne Miedema found the Gunners captain with a cut-back pass.

Birmingham now force a corner and are asking more questions of the Gunners defence. The visitors manage to deal with the set-piece on this occasion.

Arsenal have attacked with move purpose in this first five minutes of the second half than they manged in the entirety of the first.

Mana Iwabuchi lets rip with a shot from the edge of the area, but it's blocked.

Birmingham then break up field...

They are under way again.

Lucy Quinn read the danger well as Jordan Nobbs tries get onto the ball in the box. Quinn shields it for Emily Ramsey to collect.

Arsenal look to put early pressure on.

Beth Mead runs onto the ball out wide on the right, but overhits her cross and it sails out.

Can Birmingham City, who have failed to win in 24 league games, hold on and upstage an Arsenal side that are yet to be beaten in the league this term?

As it stands, Birmingham City are set to move off the bottom of the WSL table.

If Blues can hang on for their first win of the season, and if Leicester City are unable to hit back against Reading, then they will move above the Foxes.
