    Everton couldn't, could they?

    They launch forward again through Katja Snoeijs but this time their counter-attack is quickly snuffed out.

    Katja Snoeijs

    Everton have a goal back!

    It's a very loopy corner but Katja Snoeijs shakes off her marker Jodie Taylor and gets so much power on her header, burying the ball into the top corner.

    Earlier this week, Emma Hayes said she did not realise Chelsea would top the Women's Super League table with a win over West Ham tonight.

    The Chelsea manager said she does not look at the league table as "your head gets away with you".

    "I know the dressing room. As far as we are concerned we are in control of what we want to do and that's all we focus on," said Hayes.

    "I didn't even realise we could go top tomorrow if we won until someone told me yesterday.

    "You're asking the wrong person here about all of those things because I don't pay attention to them. Maybe in my early career I used to study tables [but you] realise your head gets away with you so I've learned.

    "I never look at them and I couldn't tell you which of our dressing room does either."

    West Ham v Chelsea (20:15 BST)

    Manchester United lead the table by one point, however second-placed Chelsea have their game in hand at West Ham tonight.

    If the Blues win all three of their remaining games this season, then Emma Hayes' side will seal a third straight domestic Double having beaten United in the FA Cup final last weekend.

    While Arsenal continue to play keep-ball, how about some build-up to our late game?

    Ten minutes of normal time to go, and I expect we'll get plenty added on too.

    I reckon both teams would call this now though. There's only going to be one winner.

    All Arsenal as Everton, a player down, begin to tire.

    Jodie Taylor is the latest to wriggle free, latching on to a pass over the top and forcing a fine stop from keeper Emily Ramsey from a tight angle.
