If Aston Villa manager Carla Ward's job is under threat you wouldn't know it from this performance so far. Her players are certainly playing for her, they've done everything bar score.

Having said that here's Bristol City's best moment to date, a driving run down the right and low shot from Ffion Morgan which Daphne van Domselaar has to get behind and save well.

Ceri Holland has a go from range as it falls to her after a free-kick is headed away.

It's not too far away.

Lauren Hemp is back on her feet and okay to continue.

She is greeted by a huge cheer from the home fans.

I think both sides should still go for the win.

There is nothing points-wise between them in the league and neither expected to start the season so well, so both managers will be wanting the three points to continue that positivity.

Both sides will be encouraged to keep going to find a late winner.

Four minutes added on at the end of this one.

Is there a winner in this for either team?

The best chance of the game!

City's break is swift and Chloe Kelly's cross meets Lauren Hemp at the back post. She can't find the target and looks in pain after an apparent clash with the post.

Missy Bo Kearns is the latest name in the referee's book, she only got on the pitch around 10 minutes ago.

Jorelyn Carabali is down holding her knee, but she looks good to continue.

City are looking to record back-to-back WSL wins for the first time since January 2019 this afternoon, a pre-Covid world, a very different world in some ways. But they've barely been out of their half in this opening quarter of an hour or so. Villa looking the better and brighter side thus far.

Sjoeke Nusken goes into the book for a foul in the middle of the park.

Everton take the opportunity to make a change as Sara Holmgaard makes way for Emma Bissell.

Everton have actually played really well and are still limiting Chelsea to just that one goal.

Manager Brian Sorensen said on Friday that he thought his side "didn't want to be there" when they were thrashed 7-0 by Manchester United in the Continental Cup.

No danger of that being the case here.

The tempo of this game has slowed down, but Lauren Hemp is still probing.

Some lovely footwork opens space up but her shot is straight at Sophie Baggaley.

What a chance!

Liverpool have a free kick and it comes into the far post, Gemma Bonner makes a really good connection with it but can't get her effort on target.

She'll be disappointed with that one. A super opportunity.

Going into the final 10 minutes of this game it is anyone's for the taking.

It has gotten so open with both sides having sightings of goal, it is hard to say who will go on and win.

Less than 10 minutes left of this one. Tottenham drew last weekend against another set of Merseyside opposition.

Remember, both these teams are separated by goal difference only in the league and that would stay that way if this match remains level.

Ah a really good chance and Villa should be ahead! Rachel Daly flicks on a corner at the near post, it's half cleared by a City defender and Rachel Corsie puts the loose ball over the top. Kirsty Hanson then has a low shot held by Kaylan Marckese as Villa look to find that opener.

I think it has been very clear that Martha Thomas is so keen to score today.

Sometimes being so desperate to score can count against you, her decision making has been a bit poor as a result, rushing too much on the ball and when she does get a chance at goal.

Oooh. The ball falls to Olga Ahtinen on the edge of the area and she sends a powerful strike goal bound.

A brave header from Gemma Bonner clears the danger. Hard as nails.

Chloe Kelly runs through on goal but she can't escape Guro Bergsvand, who slides in to block her shot.

Kelly is then denied by Sophie Baggaley. Manchester City are still coming!
