That yellow card is Melvine Malard's last involvement as she comes off, with Lucia Garcia coming on.

Garcia scored the late winner in United's 2-1 victory over City in May, a result that saw last season's WSL title race go to the final day, although Chelsea then secured their fourth successive WSL championship.

Can Garcia be United's saviour again? She has 20 minutes plus injury time to rescue her side.

Khadija Shaw is able to carry on and instantly makes a storming run forwards, before a pull of her shirt and a clip of the heels from Melvine Malard, who gets a booking for her trouble.

An accidental clash of heads between United defender Millie Turner and City forward Khadija Shaw, who again needs treatment.

United boss Marc Skinner takes the opportunity to gather his players for a mid-second half huddle with words of advice on how they can get back in the game.

The City players are far more relaxed and happy as they also use the pause to get some water.

Manchester United two goals behind with half an hour left. Are we going to see a sensational recovery?

City looking comfortable at the moment.

Uh-oh.

Mary Earps hesitated to come out and meet the pass back from Maya Le Tissier, which was poor, and you can't do that with Khadija Shaw running down on you.

The City fans to our right are on their feet chanting and celebrating at Old Trafford.

That is a nightmare. Marc Skinner was tapping his head to say concentrate and straight away that happens. That does sum up Manchester United's day.

A lot of pressure on Khadija Shaw, she is the only number nine in this team and she needs to score.

Overplaying in the wrong areas from Manchester United.

After a few minutes of treatment, Khadija Shaw jogs back on and...

Kerstin Casparij has been getting some instructions from the Manchester City staff. We might see her soon.

Mary Fowler, Jess Park and Deyna Castellanos have been sent to warm-up.

A problem for Manchester City's Khaidja Shaw, who appears to have hurt her neck as she tussled with Melvine Malard to gain possession after a throw-in.

Shaw is needing some careful medical attention. Gareth Taylor will very much be hoping she can play on.

This keeps Manchester City in the title race [if they win]. Everyone is beating everyone, it is not a case of a runaway team. The pack is tight and it will be great for Manchester City if they win.

Manchester City's Laia Aleixandri, in trying to hold off Ella Toone, puts out a hand into her opponent's face and gets a yellow card for doing so.

Jayde Riviere is on at half-time for Manchester United which means Leah Galton can move back across the left wing, where she is such an attacking threat.

It's a wise decision from Marc Skinner as his side chase the game. Hannah Blundell has moved to left-back to fill in for Galton.

A change at the break for the hosts as Jayde Riviere is on and Nikita Parris is off, with Leah Galton moving to the left wing.

And the second half is under way.

The BBC Women's Footballer of the Year 2023 will be announced on 28 November.

Voting has now closed, but fans from across the world have been voting for their favourite from the five-player shortlist of Aitana Bonmati, Mary Earps, Sam Kerr, Alexandra Popp and Fridolina Rolfo.

The award started in 2015 and previous winners include Beth Mead, Asisat Oshoala, Vivianne Miedema, Lucy Bronze, Kim Little and Ada Hegerberg.

The five contenders for the BBC World Service accolade were chosen by a panel of experts, including coaches, players, administrators and journalists.

Old Trafford is being treated to a performance by a choir from local Pemberton College at half-time.

They've got a great audience as most supporters have stayed in their seats rather than opting for a hot chocolate (which is needed so fair play)!

Rachel Daly scored a superb goal in injury time to give Aston Villa a dramatic Women's Super League victory over West Ham.

Viviane Asseyi had put West Ham ahead from the penalty spot but Anna Patten headed Villa level before half-time.

Villa took the lead through Adriana Leon before Lisa Evans looked to have earned West Ham a point with a brilliant half-volley.

But Daly hooked in a spectacular late winner from just inside the box.

Celin Bizet scored a second-half equaliser as Tottenham denied Leicester a Women's Super League win at the King Power Stadium.

Janice Cayman gave the Foxes the lead early on, while Janina Leitzig made a string of saves to thwart the visitors.

Leicester's point halted their run of three successive defeats, which culminated in a collapse against Arsenal last week.

Spurs had to make do with a third straight 1-1 draw, despite dominating the game.

Second-placed Arsenal secured a fifth consecutive Women's Super League win as strikes from Stina Blackstenius, Caitlin Foord and Frida Maanum gave them victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Broadfield Stadium.

Sweden forward Blackstenius capitalised on generous defending to curl the opener beyond goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley at the second attempt in front of a record sellout crowd for the Seagulls in Crawley, before Foord curled in from long range with 10 minutes remaining and Maanum added a third in stoppage time.

Beth Mead made her first start for Arsenal since returning from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury which sidelined the England forward for 11 months before her return as a substitute in October.

Brighton, who won at title hopefuls Manchester City a week earlier, came close to equalising when Manuela Zinsberger pushed Elisabeth Terland's strike away when the forward was released by Guro Bergsvand's through ball.

Alessia Russo produced a timely challenge to prevent Terland from profiting in front of goal after Maria Thorisdottir ventured forward and attempted to feed the Norway striker during the second half, with Bergsvand heading the ensuing corner over the crossbar.

Russo was inches from doubling Arsenal's lead when the summer signing failed to cleanly connect with Victoria Pelova's cross shortly before Foord's classy finish.

Russo's cross set up Cloe Lacasse to provide fellow substitute Maanum with the chance to slot in, as Arsenal ensured they have won all six of their WSL matches against Brighton without conceding a goal.

Let's have a quick catch-up with some more of the WSL action from earlier today.
