Manchester City are dominating possession so far and it looks like Brighton's best opportunities this afternoon will come on the break.

That was the chance! Johanna Rytting Kaneryd's cross is cleared only as far as Melanie Leupolz, but she fizzes her effort just over the crossbar.

Katie Zelem stands over a free-kick and tries to go for goal, but it's easily saved by Ann-Katrin Berger. United have lacked that clinical edge in front of goal.

Chloe Kelly is fouled in the box and reaches for the ball but the referee waves away her claims.

Chelsea are definitely on top at the moment - 42.0% of the action has been in the Manchester United third over the last 15 minutes.

Close! Sam Kerr receives the ball in the box once again but she can't control it properly and Mary Earps is able to pounce to shut the Australian down.

Chelsea aren't wanting to give up this lead.

Midfielder Jessie Fleming is replaced by defender Magdalena Eriksson.

It's been a real end-to-end game in the recent exchanges.

United are the latest to go forwards as Alessia Russo isn't able to convert an Ona Batlle cross.

Could they snatch a late goal?

Our next two WSL matches are under way as Brighton take on Manchester City and Liverpool face Tottenham.

Manchester United make two changes.

Leah Galton and Ella Toone are replaced by Martha Thomas and Rachel Williams.

Yet another chance for Sam Kerr. She receives the ball after a misplaced Katie Zelem pass but Millie Turner gets across to block her shot behind for a corner.

Blundell is back up and Chelsea make a change, with Lauren James making way for Johanna Rytting Kaneryd.

Hannah Blundell is down clutching her foot and there's a stoppage in play.

She was clipped in a tussle Lauren James.

There's little doubt these sides have clicked into gear.

The momentum has swung once again and it's United who are back on top, but they're finding themselves mostly stifled in the final third.

Lauren James is next to try to get Chelsea's second, but she scuffs her shot wide from the edge of the box.

The hosts are really knocking on the door now.

What a chance!

It's Sam Kerr who's in behind the United defence once again as she collects a ball over the top, but she sends her shot wide of the far post. It should be 2-0.

Here's a stat which bodes well for the hosts:

Chelsea are unbeaten in every WSL game this season where they've led at the break apart from their loss to Liverpool in the first game of the campaign.

Let's continue to focus on this one. Chelsea take the game to United to begin the second half but are being crowded out by the visitors.

Chelsea get the second half started.

Will they hold on to their lead? Doing so would give them a two-point advantage in the title race with a game in hand.

• Manchester City have won all three of their WSL away games against Brighton. They've scored at least six goals on each visit (19 in total), while conceding just once in reply.
• Khadija Shaw could become City’s highest-scoring Women’s player in a single season across all competitions if she scores her 25th for the campaign this afternoon.
• Brighton have conceded at least three goals in seven of their eight WSL meetings with Man City, shipping 37 goals in total. The only exception was a 0-0 draw in September 2020.
• Brighton's Lee Geum-Min has either scored (1) or assisted (1) a goal in each of her two WSL appearances against former club Manchester City.
