That Chelsea move deserved a goal. The ball to Lauren James from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd was an awkward one, but the talent James has, you may be expected her to do a bit better.

Everton have the ball in the net again but it's ruled out before they can celebrate.

London City are adamant they should have a penalty as Nikita Parris and Maya le Tissier go down in a tussle off the ball.

The referee gives United a free-kick - the replay confirms that it was London City striker Parris who committed the foul.

Lauren James runs onto a cross from the right and smartly opens up her body to send a side-footed finish towards the far top corner that only narrowly misses the mark.

Martha Thomas shows some silky footwork to sidestep Naomi Girma and get a shot away from range, but it's high, wide and not at all handsome.

Having lost their last home WSL game to Arsenal three weeks ago, Chelsea were facing the possibility of losing back to back home league games for the first time since 2013 today.

That won't happen unless Liverpool take things up a few notches though. The Blues are very comfortable at the minute.

Another chance for Bethany England goes begging - the Spurs skipper beats the defender to Julie Blakstad's low cross to the near post, but her first-time effort goes over.

Martha Thomas receives the ball with her back to goal midway through the Chelsea half and as she turns she sees acres of space in front of her.

Hikaru Kitagawa is OK to continue for Everton after a bit of treatment, so play has resumed.

We're back under way at Villa Park, and the home side almost pull a goal back!

Chasity Grant slides a cut-back across the face of goal, but Rachel Maltby - who has just come on as a half-time substitute for Lucy Staniforth - can't quite reach it on the slide.

Both Gareth Taylor and Sonia Bompastor opted to make a change at the break.

Mia Enderby, who's scored with each of her past three shots on target in the WSL has replaced Alice Bergstrom in the visitors front line.

For Chelsea Lucy Bronze has come on for Sandy Baltimore in the left-back berth.
