Anchored at the bottom of the table and five points from safety, Birmingham have not had much to cheer about but at least keeper Emily Ramsey is available for the daunting game with Tottenham.

Ramsey, 21, was sent off during the 2-1 home defeat to Leicester last Sunday but Birmingham have successfully appealed the red card.

Birmingham's only win in the WSL this season was against leaders Arsenal.

Will they upset the form books again and record a north London double by defeating fourth-placed Spurs?

Brighton manager Hope Powell has made two changes to her side that suffered a 4-0 defeat at Tottenham last weekend, with midfielder Kayleigh Green and forward Eileen Green starting in place of Julia Zigiotti Olme and Danielle Carter.

The Seagulls are aiming to end their seven-match winless run.

Reading manager Kelly Chamber brings midfielder Tia Primmer into the starting line-up after she scored the winner in last weekend’s makes 2-1 victory over Everton.

She takes the place of Justine Vanhaevermaet in the only change to the side as the Royals aim for a club record sixth successive victory in the Women’s Super League.

We have a few games coming up at 14:00 GMT.

Team news from those is coming up next.

Manchester City have let a few chances go begging in the first half.

Lauren Hemp is guilty of seeing the best of them go over the bar.

Manchester United need to find a way to stay in the game.

They have been clever with some of their free-kicks and have managed to gain territory with them.

There are still elements of this game that United can do better to really take it to City and test that backline.

That corner comes in and is dealt with. It proves the last meaningful moment of the half as referee Kirsty Dowle blows the whistle for half-time.

Manchester City will have one last go at breaking the deadlock before the break.

Ellen White is dragged wide on the right, but does well to force a corner after finding Jessica Park with a cross.

While Alex Greenwood continues to receive treatment, the fourth official indicates that there will be three minutes of injury time at the end of this half.

There is a little concern as Alex Greenwood crumples to the grounds after an aerial challenge.

She banged heads with Katie Zelem. Greenwood is already wearing a protective face mask and that was a bit of a nasty knock.

It's Ellen White now who is off target with a header.

Lucy Bronze shrugs off a defender before digging out a cross for her England team-mate. The ball hangs in the air and White sees her effort balloon over.

She kicks the advertising board behind the goal in frustration.

Lauren Hemp sees another Manchester City chance go to waste.

This time Lucy Bronze whips in a cross which clears Ellen White in the middle of the box, but finds Hemp at the far post. Hemp does well to direct her header downwards, but it lacks power and precision and is clutched by Mary Earps.

Jessica Park has seen a lot of the ball on the right. She has done a super job finding pockets of space to cause Manchester United problems.

Hannah Blundell is the one to stop the danger this time.

Ellen White lets out a scream of frustration after she directs a header from a Vicky Losada corner over the bar.

It has been one of those halves for City so far...

City have completely dominated possession in this game. They've had possession in areas that can hurt United, but City need to do more with the ball.

Now it's Manchester United's turn to have City backtracking at pace.

Ella Toone cuts one way then the other in the box and tries to clip in a cross, but Alex Greenwood crucially intervenes with a header.

Lucy Bronze plays Jessica Park into space on the right.

Park then loops over a dangerous cross for Lauren Hemp, who sends her header just over. Great chance.

Under way at Walton Hall Park, where Everton host Aston Villa in a game between two sides keen to edge further away from relegation trouble near the foot of the WSL.

The Toffees get the action going.

Again Alex Greenwood gives away another free-kick. She crashes into the back of Vilde Rosa as they jump for the ball.

This free-kick is in a more dangerous area on the right...

Katie Zelem bends the ball in, but Ellie Roebuck comes out to collect it.
