Bristol City 1-0 Leicester City
Carrie Jones so nearly has another for Bristol! She gets in behind and flashes a ball across the face of goal but it's turned behind for a corner.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
Liverpool are stubbon when it comes to defending their box. Foord has just cut in to shoot and seen a shot blocked.
Bristol City 1-0 Leicester City
There's been a fantastic battle going on between Ella Powell and Shannon O'Brien out wide.
The Bristol City defender has worked tirelessly to keep Leicester at bay.
FT: Aston Villa 1-2 Man Utd
Fara Williams
Former England midfielder on BBC Two
It is so tough for Aston Villa but we always say that football is decided in moments and they mainly went against them today.
The Maya Le Tissier incident came when they were on top and then came the red card which swung momentum.
They did go ahead but after that United got that boost and that changed the perception of the game in their favour.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
Great effort from Maanum on the volley!
Quick corner wasn't really cleared and she latched onto it. Laws makes another good save.
Everton 1-2 Brighton
Brighton make two more changes.
No hat-trick for Elisabeth Terland as she is withdrawn and replaced by Maisie Symonds.
Katie Robinson also exits the field with Charlize Rule coming on for her debut.

Manchester United
Player of the match Lucia Garcia speaking to BBC Two: "It was a top match, we fought to the very end. We are very happy to score the two goals and come back from behind. It was hard work but we just kept going.
"We did a good job to show the fight and to show the character we have. We deserved these kinds of things because we fought until the end. Now we need to rest and recover for Friday, when we have another big match."
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
Missy Bo Kearns fires a free-kick just wide! Zinsberger was wary. Liverpool are looking much better.
Everton 1-2 Brighton
Everton have certainly looked more lively since Megan Finnigan's goal.
Less than 20 minutes remaining as the hosts go in search of an equaliser.
Carrie Jones
What a stunner!
The footwork from Carrie Jones - who was on loan with the Foxes last year - is simply wonderful to beat a handful of defenders on the edge of the Leicester City box.
She grabs the first goal of Bristol City's new campaign after a deflection takes her effort from range past Janina Leitzig.
Everton 1-2 Brighton
Maria Thorisdottir is back on her feet and looks fine to continue.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

BBC Sport at Emirates Stadium
Neither manager wasted a second of a water break, gathering their squads and pointing to specific areas of the pitch in turn.
Marie-Therese Hobinger was the last player to head back towards the halfway line after receiving one closing piece of guidance. The new midfield signing implored her team-mates to persevere as she jogged back on, and they duly had their best spell of the game: only that vital block by Jen Beattie stopped Taylor Hinds from capitalising after Manuela Zinsberger spilled the visitors' latest cross.
FT: Aston Villa 1-2 Man Utd

FT: Aston Villa 1-2 Man Utd
Ellen White
Former England striker on BBC Two
Rachel Williams is a good player an amazing person, and has come up with the goods for United yet again.
She has been called on time and again for this team and she has come on today and scored the winning goal.
Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool
Pinball in the penalty box! Zinsberger drops a cross and loses sight of the ball but Jen Beattie is there to block Taylor Hinds' effort.
Liverpool have woken up,
Everton 1-2 Brighton
Just as they got their goal, Everton made a triple change.
Emma Bissell, Heather Payne and Justine Vanhaevermaet come on for Nicoline Sorensen, Katrine Veje and Karoline Olesen.
Can the three debutants turn the game for the hosts?
Bristol City 0-0 Leicester City
Bristol City goalkeeper Fran Bentley falls awkwardly and needs some treatment.
