The ball is also back rolling at Kingsmeadow.

Hikaru Kitagawa is down holding her mouth after catching a stray arm to the face, so the physios are making their way on to tend to her.

Rita Guarino turned to her bench at the break, bringing on the speedy Ffion Morgan in place of Leila Wandeler.

We're just getting back under way on Merseyside now.

That first half was a struggle for West Ham, evidenced best by the combined touch map of their front three Riko Ueki, Shekiera Martinez and Viviane Asseyi.

Just 39 touches between the three of them, and only four in the Everton box. Talk about being starved of service.

Marc Skinner storms down the tunnel and doesn't look impressed by that first half performance.

Jess Park is shortly behind him, puffing her cheeks out as she has done for most of the match.

It's not been a great performance from United and they are only in this due to Park's brilliance for the equaliser.

The only thing that will be bothering interim Everton boss Scott Phelan at half time is that his side only have one goal to show for that dominant first half display.

Only one team in it at half-time according to the stats.

But if Villa get the next goal, who knows? Martin Ho will be frustrated Spurs have not finished this match off.

It's interesting how Chelsea looked so much better when Lauren James drifted towards the left-hand side and Alyssa Thompson replaced her through the middle. Liverpool are really struggling to deal with it.

Aston Villa have made it to half-time with a two-goal deficit to overturn, but it could - and probably should - be much worse.

Tottenham have been electric in attack, but do look vulnerable to Villa's breaks.

What a chance for Nikita Parris to score her second on the stroke of half-time!

Maya Le Tissier plays a back pass to Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who completely fluffs her attempted pass out.

Parris runs onto the loose ball, but her shot on the turn is weak and straight at the goalkeeper.

The half-time whistle goes straight afterwards.

Tottenham attack once again with Maika Hamano receiving the ball to the right of the box, but her low strike across goal is blocked by Ellie Roebuck.

A fourth goal for Spurs would surely end this as a contest.

Work for Liverpool to do at Kingsmeadow as Sjoeke Nusken's front post finish has Chelsea ahead at the interval.

It looks like London City are trying to wind up United right-back Jayde Riviere, who is already on a booking.

Poppy Pattinson gives Riviere a nudge as the ball goes out of play, before Sanni Franssi tugs her shirt.

Riviere needs to keep her cool.

Ceri Holland comes off worst in a full-blooded collision when trying to track back. Here's hoping she can run that off because it would be a big blow for Liverpool to lose her.

Everton are more than worthy of their half time lead in the battle of the two form teams at Goodison Park.

West Ham can count themselves lucky that the deficit is only one goal at the break.

Shekeira Martinez, who has been very quiet this afternoon, drives into the final third for West Ham but Clare Wheeler gets back before she can dig out a cross.

Alice Bergstrom gets in on the right once more but again her low cross is cut out in the middle by a brilliant sliding clearance from Veerle Buurman.

The Belgian has been excellent back there for Chelsea today.
