Time for a breather in Manchester.

Manchester City in full command thanks to Leila Ouahabi's instant opener and a brace from Khadija Shaw.

Concern for Manchester City now as Bunny Shaw is left holding her knee whilst sat on the grass behind the West Ham net.

Here's hoping she will be able to continue after the break.

Beth Mead has now been directly involved in 25 goals across her last 23 home appearances in the WSL (15 goals, 10 assists).

West Ham inches away from getting on the scoresheet.

First Riko Ueki breaks into the box and is denied by a superb sliding block tackle from Alex Greenwood.

The ball then breaks to Jess Ziu whose shot deflects up off another sliding challenge from Greenwood, hitting the crossbar on it's way out of the box.

We head into just two minutes of stoppage time in Manchester.

Here's the first goal of Bunny Shaw's brace so far this afternoon.

It put City into a two goal lead by the third minute.

The second half at Emirates Stadium has begun.

Leicester City have lost all 10 of their away games in London in the WSL – failing to score in nine of those matches, the most a team has played in the capital in the competition without winning.

It's an uphill task they face in this second half to end that dreadful record.

Best chance of the game for West Ham.

Great cross in from the left and Jess Ziu rises highest in the middle to meet it above Alex Greenwood.

The forward can't get over the header though and it goes over the bar.

Great passing move from Manchester City down their right hand side.

Mary Fowler then zips past Kirsty Smith before picking out Laura Coombs on the edge of the box. Coombs goes for goal but her shot is well saved in the end.

Another bit of work for Khiara Keating to do in the Manchester City goal.

Anouk Denton crosses into the box from the West Ham right, but the young keeper watches it all the way and catches the ball under her own crossbar.

Another rare foray forward from the visitors, who are drawn up field by the Manchester City back line.

They take the invitation to press high but City pass slickly around it and work back the other way once again.

I'm not surprised by this start because Manchester City are absolutely flying at the minute. If their opponent doesn't match their ferocity, this can happen to you.

Manchester City are cruising now, and have opted to just slow the tempo down for the time being.

To be honest after that clinical, flying start they made it's no surprise that they need a breather.

To paraphrase J. Robert Oppenheimer in the Oscar-winning film, Arsenal's chances of winning the WSL this season are near zero.

Third-placed Arsenal are six points behind Chelsea and City with four games remaining. Opta's 'supercomputer' has already all but ruled out the Gunners, giving them a 0.1% chance of winning the title.

But there is still a chance that the Gunners can set fire to the world's atmosphere/win the WSL title - although victory at the Emirates today is a necessity.

Opta rate Chelsea as favourites, with a 55.8% chance, with Manchester City rated as 44.1% likely to win the WSL.

Not even in jest, West Ham have been completely outplayed, they don't seem to have any answers. They've improved defensively but I expect City to put their foot down and seal this game.

We're just past the half hour mark now in this one and it can't have gone more perfectly for Manchester City.

Three quality goals, a clean sheet so far, and well on their way to the three points.

How do West Ham go about getting back into this?

Arsenal are heading to Europe and staying in the title race (just) as it stands, thanks to Beth Mead's beautifully worked opener.

But Leicester are more than in this. Manuela Zinsberger has made two fine saves to keep her side in front.

We enter one minute of first half stoppage time, and it is still anyone's game.

Leicester have had 43% possession, which for a team visiting Arsenal is a healthy chunk.

Jennifer Foster's team are very much in this.

Just in case you were perhaps making a cuppa or nipping to the loo and missed the opening goal of the game, here it is again for you.
