It's almost three as Ella Toone unleashes a fine strike from long range but Olivia Clark adds to her collection of saves today with a good stop.

They do really well Man United, Ella Toone finds the spare player Hinata Miyazawa on the edge of the box.

A huge deflection which leads to the ball in the back of the net.

Wonderfully inviting ball across the face of the Manchester United six-yard box from Abi Harrison but there's no one there in a red striped shirt to take advantage.

For Man Utd it's about breaking Bristol City's shape with deep runs from either midfield, or keeping the width with their wide forwards, Galton on one side, Parris on the other.

Changing the tempo, going from slow to quick in the final third is the only way you're going to start drawing defenders with quick combination play.

Ffion Morgan gives Man Utd keeper Mary Earps a brief scare with a cross that floats on to the roof of the net.

The England keeper then has to collect a low cross. The hosts have started this second half brightly.

It's been too static from Manchester United - no dynamic movement with any purpose to get beyond the Bristol backline and that is why the frustration is building for them.

Olivia Clark was exceptional in the first half, made some really crucial saves when Man Utd were building early opportunities. And she's been leading, commanding and controlling the space in behind the defensive line as well.

Lauren Smith will be delighted with the way her team have performed, they've been disciplined, they've stayed compact, they've largely handled Man Utd. They expected Man Utd to have a lot of possession but they've made it difficult for them to exploit space.

Back under way at Ashton Gate as Manchester United resume proceedings.

No changes for either team.

It was quite the game for Chelsea's Lauren James on her last Women's Super League outing.

The 22-year-old forward scored a hat-trick, assisted another and played a part in a fifth goal as Chelsea thrashed Liverpool 5-1.

Watch how her performance unfolded in the clip below.

Chelsea are the only team to remain unbeaten after the first seven weekends of Women's Super League action and it's given them a three-point buffer at the top of the table.

Emma Hayes' Chelsea are on the hunt for an unprecedented fifth successive WSL title, and they've made a pretty good start.

Leicester City

Few fixtures in WSL history have been more one-sided than Chelsea versus Leicester City. In four previous league meetings, the Blues have racked up a scarcely believable 25 goals without reply.

This includes a 9-0 victory away to Leicester in March 2022, while last season Emma Hayes' side put eight past the Foxes away from home then hit them for six at Kingsmeadow.

Leicester have looked more solid this season, scoring in eight of their nine fixtures, and manager Willie Kirk is putting a brave face on his side's dreadful form against the champions.

"I will be disappointed if it ends 25-0," he said, tongue in cheek, at his pre-match press conference. "If it's 26-1 I'll be ok with it.

"The past is irrelevant, there have been so many firsts this season, little landmarks, so we hope to get another first this weekend."

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr showed what she's capable of in midweek with a hat-trick as her side beat Paris FC in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge.

She's only managed two goals across five games in the WSL so far, taking time to return to fitness after an injury during this summer's World Cup.

But there was no sign of rustiness from Kerr on Thursday as she sealed her hat-trick with an audacious lob from outside the box, before heading off to a standing ovation midway through the second half.

"Well, if that's her at 80% - or whatever she is - I'll take that every week," said manager Emma Hayes afterwards.

"That's not bad. I can't wait for the 100% version!"

It was a difficult encounter last time out for Liverpool as they were beaten 5-1 by Chelsea but other recent results should give Matt Beard's side confidence for this afternoon.

They drew with Tottenham before that game, and beat Leicester City before the international break.

Tottenham are fifth in the table, while Leicester sit in seventh. Both had bright starts to the season and were tough tests for the Reds.

Beard's side are sixth and have only suffered two defeats from their opening seven games.

Subs: Laws, Fahey, Kearns, Kiernan, Lawley, Enderby, Lundgaard, Flint, Parry.

Mel Phillips makes two changes to the Brighton side which was beaten 3-0 by Arsenal last week, including a change of formation.

Full back Li Mengwen is replaced by attacking midfielder Maisie Symonds as Brighton switch from a 5-4-1 to what looks like a 4-4-1-1.

In central midfield, Charlize Rule for Julia Olme is the other alteration.

Brighton: Baggaley; Carabali, Thorisdottir, Bergsvand, Kullberg; Robinson, Losada, Rule, Bremer; Symonds, Terland

Subs: Evrard, Pattinson, Sarri, Lee, Olme, Pinto, Mengwen, Startup

Emma Hayes has named three changes from Chelsea's previous Women's Super League outing.

Ann-Katrin Berger retains her place after starting in her side's midweek Champions League win over Paris FC, replacing Zecira Musovic.

Fran Kirby and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd also start, as Aggie Beever-Jones and Sjoeke Nusken drop to the bench.

Chelsea XI: Berger, Charles, Carter, Mjelde, Perisset, Cuthbert, Ingle, James, Kirby, Kaneryd, Kerr.

Leicester City boss Willie Kirk also names three changes following a 1-1 draw with Tottenham last time out.

They see Aimee Palmer, Aileen Whelan and Julie Thibaud come in for Josie Green, Missy Goodwin and Hannah Cain - who all start on the bench.

Leicester City XI: Leitzig, Nevin, Howard, Thibaud, Bott, Palmer, Tierney, Rantala, Cayman, Whelan, Petermann.
