A shot!

Viviane Asseyi drives at the Liverpool defence and opts not to use the runner down the left wing.

She cuts inside and eventually gets off a shot but it skews well wide of the target.

Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor speaking to BBC Sport: "It’s the one competition we have left. Outside of what Chelsea have done, nobody has done it for a long time. We’re right in there. Our league form has been fantastic. Our start to the season has been really good.

"A little bit of disappointment in the cup competitions but the margins were really tight. I expect the same today. I don’t expect it to be an easy game. Opportunity for us to go level on top and that’s really exciting. If you had given us that with seven games to go we would have really taken it."

On Filippa Angeldahl's absence: "Just a slight hamstring issue that she had the last couple of days. Hopefully I don’t think it will be too long."

On Chelsea's win over Arsenal on Friday: "Those games can run away from you really quickly like it did for arsenal and it’s really difficult when that happens. Both teams and us included are capable of doing that."

Better from Liverpool as a quick interchange has Marie-Therese Hobinger running into the area.

She's just unable to shift the ball enough to get a shot away and the visitors clear.

Bristol City have responded pretty well to going behind, forcing a corner, but the hosts are able to deal with it.

United have a dangerous free-kick on the left but it's again pretty poor from Katie Zelem as it is cleared at the near post.

• Manchester City have won all four of their away games against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Women’s Super League by an aggregate score of 21-2, scoring at least six goals in three of those matches.
• Brighton and Hove Albion have won just one of their last 10 home games in the WSL having drawn two and lost seven - a 3-2 win against Bristol City in January.

Quarter of an hour gone at Prenton Park and we're still waiting for our first attempt on goal.

It hasn't been a classic.

That is Lisa Naalsund's first goal in the WSL.

People may think that is game over, but Marc Skinner's side have lost two of five games when taking the lead at home this season.

This match sees two of the top strikers in the league face each other with Manchester City's Bunny Shaw topping the WSL goal-scoring charts with 15 goals.

Brighton's Elisabeth Terland has scored 11 goals so far this season, only Chelsea's Lauren James sits between them with 13.

Liverpool could climb above Manchester United into fourth depending on results today.

Matt Beard's side have started strongly and on the front foot.

Marie-Therese Hobinger curls a beautiful left-footed cross in behind the visitors' defence but nobody is able to get on the end of it.

It's been a pretty disappointing couple of weeks for Manchester City, who found themselves knocked out of both cup competitions in the space of three days.

First, Chelsea beat Gareth Taylor's side 1-0 in the Continental Cup semi-final at the Joie Stadium.

Then, Tottenham knocked them out of the FA Cup after Beth England scored late to cancel out Mary Fowler's early goal and send the game to penalties with Spurs coming out on top to reach the semi-final.

It meant City have failed to progress from the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in the club's history.

They'll be looking to bounce back today with the Women's Super League their last chance of winning some silverware this season.

Katie Zelem's free-kick from the right is easily held by Shae Yanez. Pretty poor delivery to be honest.

Lucia Garcia gets in behind the Bristol City defence buy the Spaniard is crowded out in the end and Bristol City are able to clear.

United come straight back though and Jayde Riviere earns a free-kick high up on the right. Promising position for United. Jamie-Lee Napier goes into the book for the tackle.

Bristol City manager Lauren Smith says everybody has her bottom-of-the-table side "already beaten" by Manchester United going into their game on Sunday.

The Robins are six points from safety in the Women's Super League.

They lost 7-3 to Brighton in their last outing and have won just once in 15 games this season.

"We're already on the underdog side of things, what else can happen that's worse than that?" Smith told BBC Radio Bristol.

"It's probably part of the frustration of the last few games, they were the teams in and around us, that we've not been able to close that gap.

"The teams that are in the top five that we're coming up against, realistically, we're already beaten by them by everybody else.

"Removing the pressure of must-win games will hopefully give us another confidence to be able to go into games not all-out expecting that this is a game that must be a win."

It has been a difficult season for Manchester United after their impressive progress last campaign.

Manager Marc Skinner has been absent this week, ahead of the birth of his second child, but is expected to be on the touchline for the game.

“I think every game is dangerous in this league,” assistant coach Charlotte Healy said.

“You only have to look at results across the league with every team this season. Every team can bring threats on their day; we know Lauren’s [Smith] team will be organised, we know they will have a lot of fight.

“From the games I’ve watched, Bristol City have played really well in some of them but they haven’t picked up the results.

"I saw Lauren’s comments that people will have them already beaten but we certainly don’t. We’ve worked really hard this week to make sure that we are prepared and that we build on the Brighton performance. There will be no underestimating Bristol City that’s for sure.”

Manchester United manager Marc Skinner names an unchanged starting line-up from the side who beat Brighton 4-0 in the FA Cup last weekend.

Manchester United XI: Earps; Riviere, Le Tissier, Turner, Blundell; Zelem, Naalsund; Garcia, Toone, Malard, Parris.

Subs: Mannion, Guerrero, Ladd, Evans, Geyse, Rabjohn, Williams, Aherne, Tullis-Joyce.
