Ella Toone gets us under way again.

This fan will be happy.

Ooooh. City have a corner and Mary Fowler swings it to the back post. Alex Greenwood heads it down and it requires a clearance off the line from Jorelyn Carabali.

Mikey Harris will want Brighton to play in his way but you need to learn when to play and when not to play.

The players have to take that responsibility as well, even then they overplay. Go back work it back around, don't be afraid to clear the ball either.

Lauren Hemp drives all the way through the middle of the park, she puts the burners on and fires off a shot from around 15 yards but it's blocked.

Brighton go up the other end but Emma Kullberg can't get anything on Katie Robinson's cross. She was offside anyway.

Manchester City have avoided defeat in their last 12 matches when scoring the opening goal in the Women's Super League - dating back to 2 April 2023 against Arsenal.

It's hard for Brighton.

They've just had a couple of little moments in City's box, but you can't let a player like Lauren Hemp have that much time and space.

Sophie Baggaley knows she should do better with that one, beaten at her near post by Hemp, and she punches the floor in frustration.

It took quite a while to get going, but the last 20 minutes were entertaining.

Leanne Kiernan's goal is the difference at the break.

Emily Heaslip has decided we'll have 12 minutes added on in the first half by the way.

We've got a couple of those left.

Another good opening for Brighton there but just that final ball was missing.

When you get into those positions [inside the box] you have to make the right decision.

Just like the reverse fixture, Brighton are defending really well and not letting City find a way through and now they're starting to get a bit of a foothold in the game themselves.

Big chance!

A loose back pass is run onto by Riko Ueki, but her drive is smartly kept out by Rachael Laws.

The ball falls for Vivianne Asseyi but her left-footed effort skews wide with pretty much an open goal in front of her.

The chances are flowing now.

Hawa Cissoko snaps in and wins the ball back for West Ham and then drives forward.

She plays in Viviane Asseyi down the left and the French international lays off for Kirsty Smith but her effort is just wide of the wide.

Big opportunity for the home side. Brilliant delivery from Vicky Losada just past the halfway line and Alex Greenwood heads it down but Guro Bergsvand is alert and gets it under control.

Luckily for City, she can't get the shot away at a tight angle and in the end it's a good bit of defending from Kerstin Casparij.

Lisa Naalsund's goal is the difference at the break.

It is the only shot Marc Skinner's side have had on target though. There's a lot of huffing and puffing without much quality from the hosts.

Mackenzie Arnold has had her head bandaged by the physios and the Liverpool team doctor has come out to do a concussion test as well.

It looks like the Australia international has passed for now. She is up and having a word with referee Emily Heaslip.

Brighton are managing to open City up on the odd occasion.

Another pass finds its way through the back line and Elisabeth Terland fires off a shot but she's under pressure from Laia Aleixandri and Khiara Keating saves.

The offside flag shoots up anyway.

A minimum of four minutes added on.

The hosts are searching for that second goal.

It is really hard for Brighton, they are clearing the ball but it is just coming right back at them.

They are not able to hold the ball up or find a way to keep hold of it.

We'll have a minimum of five minutes added on at Prenton Park.

It will be more because Mackenzie Arnold is still receiving treatment.
