Reading start us off.

Chelsea have stopped their opponents from scoring a first-half goal in nine of their 11 games so far in this season's WSL - more than any other team, equalled only by Manchester United.

Arsenal haven't done badly in that respect, though: they've kept a clean sheet before the break in seven of their 10 games.

Chelsea have failed to have a shot on target during the first half for the first time this season. They've had 59% of the possession, though.

This game has been bubbling beautifully. Second-half predictions? Give us a thumbs up if you think one of these sides will find the net at some point, or a thumbs down if you're expecting a stalemate.

Arsenal have created many more chances. The longer the half went on, Chelsea grew into the game. I don't think they wanted half-time to come.

We expected a closely-contested, absorbing contest at Emirates Stadium - and that's what the top two have delivered.

Arsenal will be talking about improving their finishing. Chelsea's attacking prowess has been coiled so far, leaving them without a shot on target.

Who's going to strike first?

Erin Cuthbert rampages through the centre and tries her luck, seeing her shot repelled behind by Rafaelle Souza.

There's just enough time in the half for Cuthbert to hang the corner in front of goal, where Sam Kerr ends up with her head in her hands after heading narrowly wide of the far post.

The crowd had slightly quietened in a tight game, until Lauren James cynically brought down Frida Maanum.

Cries of outrage, a chorus of boos for James and several imaginary yellow cards waved in the air to mirror the real caution for the Chelsea player.

The game and atmosphere are sparking here at the Emirates, but they're still yet to properly burst into flames.

The most excited fan I've seen at today's game was the young lad in front of the press box who was bouncing in his seat when his mum bought him a certain brand of energy drink before kick-off.

This game is one for the purists so far.

Kim Little keeps Guro Reiten from prevailing near the corner flag on the left as Chelsea look to fashion an opportunity.

For all the attacking talent they have, the leaders haven't been able to unduly trouble Arsenal yet. You sense that their usual instincts are being reined in because of their wariness of their opponents' counter-attacking abilities.

Arsenal have more luck playing through the midfield area into the attacking third, whereas Chelsea are always looking for Sam Kerr over the top.

Chelsea have a decent spell before Arsenal break at speed.

One for collectors, here: the visitors pick up only their second booking of the season as Lauren James races back and brings Frida Maanum down, interrupting her rapid run along the right-hand touchline.

The challenge needed to be made to stem the attack, but the booking was justified.

A spot of quick thinking from Lauren James sets Niamh Charles free on the right, clipping a cross towards the penalty spot that Leah Williamson heads clear.

Then Williamson has to be alert again to partially volley clear a Guro Reiten cross from the left.

In between, there's a challenge that almost certainly would have gone to VAR between Caitlin Foord and Charles - but it looked like little more than Foord standing her ground inside the penalty area, and the technology isn't in place today.

Arsenal's right-hand side have been really quiet. All the positive play is coming out from the left-hand side. Both sides are playing with a high line and making the pitch very compact.

That Hurtig effort into the side netting was probably the clearest chance we have had all game, and it came from a failed Millie Bright clearance.

Arsenal have been pushing Chelsea high and have caused a couple of errors and created a few openings.

Now they need to take one.

Are Arsenal going to rue their failure to make the most of this litany of chances?

Millie Bright thumps an attempted clearance straight at Frida Maanum inside the penalty area on the right, who has the composure and intelligence to locate Lina Hurtig with a cute low pass beyond the backline.

Bright, to her credit, races back to narrow what is already a tight angle. Hurtig perhaps should attempt to find the lurking Caitlin Foord in front of goal, but instead shoots against the side netting.

That Chelsea net has been repeatedly wobbled during this first half.

Kadeisha Buchanan makes such a difference to her team-mates in front of her, when you've got defenders who are comfortable with the ball that can play and have the ability to find a pass.

They can also set up a diagonal cross and start an attack from the backline.
