Arsenal 1-0 Everton
Corner to Everton after a defensive mix up for Arsenal.
Can they capitalise? No. The ball is cleared to Jess Park, but her strike is weak.
Guro Reiten
What a start for the visitors.
We said Leicester would be up against it today and they already have a mountain to climb as the visitors take the lead in the fourth minute.
A great piece of skill from Fran Kirby to open some space and she tees it up for Guro Reiten to stroke home a shot from the edge of the box into the bottom corner.
Leicester 0-0 Chelsea
Leicester have lost both of their WSL meetings with Chelsea so far by an aggregate score of 11-0, so you could say they are up against it today.
Arsenal 1-0 Everton
Poor defending by Everton as Blackstenius almost deflects a clearance into the net.
Arsenal have pressed from the off here.
Arsenal 1-0 Everton
Second half is go!
Can Everton get back into this?
Leicester 0-0 Chelsea
Leicester and Chelsea are under way for our final fixture of the day.
Leicester v Chelsea (15:00 GMT)
After eight straight defeats, things aren't getting any easier for pointless Leicester this weekend as they host Chelsea.
With Emma Hayes now back at work for the Blues, the task has only got tougher for Willie Kirk in his third game in charge of the Foxes.
A 9-0 defeat in the corresponding fixture last season will bring back bad memories, but Kirk says Leicester are improving despite their poor form.
"Those first points are getting closer and closer. We will get them soon," he said. "We are building every day.
"We have a long-term plan. It is moving in the right direction, but we need something tangible to make sure the players get what they deserve."
With Leicester now four points adrift at the bottom, Kirk admits they need to start picking up points quickly.
"The pressure comes every day," he added. "We are setting high standards, that is not reflective of having zero points or 24 points from the eight games. It has been four weeks since I came in. There is a lot of development still to go but we need results."

Kick off in this one is moments away and Craig is taking you through it.

FT: Man Utd 5-0 Aston Villa
Aston Villa
Aston Villa manager Carla Ward speaking to Sky Sports: "Man United are a very good team and are title contenders in my opinion. But I said to the group today, this result hurts and you can see it from the players face. We've got to take learnings from this and the character of this group will be tested. We have to look out for each other. One thing this result won't do is define our season.
"My players have been absolutely exceptional this season, so these days happens sometimes. It's difficult to have two fit players on the bench because you sat there and thinking 'your hands are tight, you can't do much.' We've got players coming back from injury and the transfer window coming up. We have to get back on track and try to get over this as quickly as possible."
FT: Man Utd 5-0 Aston Villa
Manchester United
Manchester United striker Ella Toone speaking to Sky Sports: "We are feeling really confident as a group that we can go out and produce big performances like today. Our standards are high that we are not 100% happy with our performance and we want more from ourselves. We demand so much more, but we are happy with the three points and the five goals.
"Alessia Russo makes me look good a lot of the time. I can fizz it into her and she can get hold of it. We've got that relationship on and off the pitch. I know Alessia is a really good player and know what her strengths are. I work well with her and we link up really well."
Half time then.
Here's some reaction from Man Utd's thumping win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford...
Arsenal 1-0 Everton
Miedema magic puts Arsenal ahead, and the Gunners had a late flurry as they hunted a second.
Everton are still in this. Entertaining game.
Arsenal 1-0 Everton
And again!
Blackstenius almost scores from close range after pinball in the area.
Everton are holding on all of a sudden as we enter a couple of minutes of stoppage time.
Arsenal 1-0 Everton
Arghhh what a chance!
Miedema's cross is parried away by Ramsey, only as far as Jen Beattie who shoots over.
Arsenal 1-0 Everton
Gabbie George blocks a shot by Blackstenius.
The charge for a second goal has lost pace somewhat for Arsenal as we enter the final few minutes of the first half.
Corner here, though.
Arsenal 1-0 Everton
Chance for Everton!
Mistake by Lotte Wubben-Moy is capitalised on by Nathalie Bjorn. She then plays in Katja Snoeijs, but she can't keep her effort down.
Arsenal 1-0 Everton
Miedema is proving the difference, I must say.
She feeds Blackstenius, who is denied by Ramsey.
The Everton keeper then stops Miedema herself. She's so good.
Arsenal 1-0 Everton
Half an hour in and, well, I'd say Everton have done okay.
They are still looking to get up the pitch. But Arsenal have carved out one great chance and scored it.
That shows the size of today's task.
