Almost a super goal from Lauren Hemp as she lets fly from the edge of the box, and her wicked, dipping shot cannons back off the crossbar with Phallon Tullis-Joyce beaten all ends up.

A triple change from Everton with Clare Wheeler, Toni Payne and Katja Snoeijs on in a late push to snatch something from this game.

Cheers of encouragement from the home crowd as Jayde Riviere wins a free-kick after holding off the attentions of Lauren Hemp.

United just can't get out at the minute.

The crowd are getting excited whenever Manchester United are able to push forward.

They don't have any real natural width to their play and it is forcing Jess Park to try to provide that to Jayde Riviere, but they are just taking too long and it is enabling Manchester City to get back in numbers.

That would have set up a frantic finish as Zara Kramzar strikes at goal, only for the effort to bounce off the crossbar.

Ten minutes in and it's been all Manchester City aside from a few United wide free-kicks.

As Emma said a few minutes ago, the league leaders look bang up for this.

Grace Fisk has received her first red card in the Women's Super League (119th appearance).

Will that be the turning point in this match? Everton with 10 minutes left to save this one.

Maz Pacheco takes a first-time volley but can't steer it on target and wide it goes.

Maya le Tissier floats another set piece into the Manchester City box but Khadija Shaw is back there to head clear for the visitors.

Not sure I'm sold on centre-halves taking set pieces to be honest.

Manchester City aren't having to work too hard to make their way up the pitch at the minute.

Manchester United are just being a little bit scrappy in midfield, and that's the area where this match could be won or lost today.

Back up the other end Khadija Shaw escapes the attentions of Le Tissier before flashing a low ball through the six yard box that is swept behind by Jayde Riviere.

If only City had a another Shaw to get on the end of that - those such deliveries are her bread and butter.

A double change for Liverpool as Aurelie Csillag and Denise O'Sullivan come on for Kirsty MacLean and Beata Olsson.

Everton's Ruby Mace cuts inside on to her left foot and floats an effort on target, but Jennifer Falk is able to jump up and catch the ball above her head.

Finally a chance for Manchester United to attack as skipper Maya Le Tissier stands over a wide free-kick.

She floats it toewards the back post area but it's dealt with routinely enough by the visitors.

The return of key players will be huge for Manchester City.

Ayaka Yamashita has been brilliant in goal for them. Yui Hasegawa has also been unbelievable, she has really adapted her game and she will be key this afternoon.

It is great to see Aoba Fujino back because she was phenomenal last season. Kerolin has been great on that right-hand side as well after stepping in.

Another huge let off for Manchester United.

Vivianne Miedema picks a loose ball up in the final third, threading it forward for Aoba Fujino to take aim on the right but she just drags her shot wide of the opposite bottom corner.

A chance for a Liverpool fourth and it is a header from Jenna Clark and the ball bounces off Ruby Mace, standing near the post, and goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan dives on the loose ball before it can cross the goalline.

That was an explosive start for Manchester City. They seem really up for this. The away fans in the corner to our right have been in good noise for the past 15 minutes or so.

That was almost the perfect start for the visitors, who have begun this game at a rip roaring pace.

Yui Hasegawa looks to cross for a team-mate in the middle as she settles into her first appearance back from the Asian Cup, but it's overhit and drifts into the Stretford End.

Jennifer Falk is OK to carry on and shows that by launching a goal kick up field.
