Elisabeth Terland is on the attack again, she looks to take it around Emily Ramsey who does well to get the ball without committing a foul but the flag is up.

I'm not too sure who will be the happiest of the two managers as we approach half time.

United have created a lot of opportunities and have dominated in large spells but they have not managed to get a goal.

Villa have defended well, carried out Carla Ward's game plan quite well, but when they have had the chances to go forward they have not been able to do so in enough numbers to create anything.

Lucy Hope swings a cross in as Everton look to get into the game but it is headed away by Maria Thorisdottir.

That is Aston Villa's best chance of the half by some distance.

Alisha Lehmann breaks and has sight of goal but blasts over the crossbar.

Rachel Daly looks to be getting a bit frustrated with the lack of service into her from the Villa midfield.

She is starting to cut an isolated figure up top, with Villa struggling to get players in and around her.

Mary Earps has been quiet in the United goal, which she will be very happy with.

Elisabeth Terland has a taste for goal now and drills a shot just wide of the post.

She scored seven WSL goals for Brighton last season and is certainly starting as she means to go on.

That was a good chance for Aston Villa. Rachel Daly is released and races towards the Manchester United goal but there's a lack of support and the opportunity fizzles out.

Daphne van Domselaar has made two big saves to deny Manchester United - here's one of them.

Fantastic reactions to deny Geyse earlier in the half.

Carla Ward called over midfielders Lucy Parker and Lucy Staniforth during that quick break in play. United have started to really take control of the midfield.

Ooooh. Geyse tries a cheeky backheel and flicks the ball towards Lucia Garcia but the Spanish striker doesn't spot the chance quickly enough.

Positive start from Brighton as Everton were caught out in defence but Pauline Bremer was unable to make them pay.

Manchester United's Geyse is booked after a clash of heads with Danielle Turner.

Leah Galton down this left hand side has been an absolute hanful for the Villa defence so far.

They need to stop letting her cut in field and getting the ball onto her right foot. She has shown a few flashes of danger with long range shots already.

Lucia Garcia, Leah Galton and Geyse are playing some really nice stuff in that United front line.

The United fans in the right corner of the stadium have been given a glimpse of what their new-look attacking line-up could consist of.

World Cup Golden Boot winner Hinata Miyazawa is on the bench too. Plenty in here would like to see her come on at Villa Park.

Lucia Garcia, who is through on goal, has an effort stopped from close range by Daphne van Domselaar.

It doesn't matter though as the offside flag is up.

Leah Galton opts for placement this time rather than power as she receives the ball on the edge of the box but can't find Daphne van Domselaar's goal.

Everton get their WSL campaign under way at Walton Hall Park.

Clever play from Rachel Corsie.

She just got the wrong side of Geyse and knew that the United forward was through on goal.

Took the chance to just bring her down and call a halt to the attack.

Closer there!

Another good delivery from Katie Zelem who finds Millie Turner with a free-kick but the United defender's header is weak and easily caught by Daphne van Domselaar.
