Maren Mjelde takes the free kick for Chelsea but the West Ham wall gets in the way.

That's a first Chelsea appearance since April 2021 for 20-year-old Aggie Beever-Jones.

There will be no more goals for Sam Kerr this evening.

She's replaced by Jessie Fleming, while Lauren James makes way for Aggie Beever-Jones.

Chelsea have another free kick in a potentially dangerous effort as Shannon Cooke brings down Melanie Leupolz on the edge of the box.

Sam Kerr collects a looping ball but she gets it trapped under her feet as she tries to find a path towards goal.

Chelsea have had 90% of the possession over the last 10 minutes. It's been a period of real dominance.

Lauren James is back up after receiving some treatment and looks like she'll be fine to continue.

West Ham's Hawa Cissoko also went down, but she gets back to her feet.

Chelsea looking to get a second to finish the game off and they should've got it but Lauren James pulled her effort wide.

West Ham started the second half brightly with Riko Ueki having a shot deflected wide and Kirsty Smith seeing her strike tipped over the bar by Zecira Musovic.

For Lionesses fans it would have been great to see Fran Kirby impressing in the first half on her first start since February after knee surgery.

Emma Hayes said she would be careful with her recovery and that's what she has done, taking Kirby off after 56 minutes following an excellent performance.

Mackenzie Arnold had to be on her toes there!

Niamh Charles sends the ball across the box and it deflects off the foot of Kirsty Smith.

The ball is headed for her own net but Arnold quickly reacts to parry it behind.

A well-paced through ball and you would have bet on that going in. Lauren James went for the right space but it is dragged wide. It is a poor miss and she should be scoring that.

What a chance!

Lauren James is found by a wonderful pass from Ashley Lawrence.

Somehow she just skims the post with her effort when one-on-one with Mackenzie Arnold.

Inches away from doubling Chelsea's advantage

Maren Mjelde has a 100% pass completion rate so far - all of her 88 passes have been accurate.

Niamh Charles looks to create a chance for Chelsea as she collects a long ball from Jess Carter, but Anouk Denton ushers her behind for a corner.

It has been a relatively slow start, and West Ham are playing well, but Chelsea are in the lead.
