Aston Villa catch Manchester United on the back foot to carve a fine opening.

Lucy Parker escapes down the right flank and her low cross picks out Georgia Mullett, but she snatches at the shot and it goes well over.

Liverpool's players just seem to have left their shooting boots at home today. More neat build-up play creates an opening for Alice Bergstrom but she curls her attempt over the crossbar.

Another big chance for London City goes begging. This time Wassa Sangare connects with Julia Roddar's cross at the near post, but Khadija Shaw does her defensive duties and manages to block the header.

Rebecca Knaak and Isobel Goodwin clash heads and the game is paused so that both players can receive treatment.

Thankfully, both look fine to continue.

Tottenham's best chance of the game so far.

Signe Gaupset is sent clear but with just Liverpool goalkeeper Jennifer Falk to beat, the Spurs midfielder shoots straight at the Swede.

Ashleigh Neville looks to chip Kinga Szemik with a cross from the left, but the West Ham goalkeeper manages to backtrack and claw the ball away.

Sarah Mayling runs onto a knockdown at the edge of the box and looks for the bottom corner, but her strike drifts narrowly wide.

Close for the Foxes.

Lea Schuller with a golden opportunity to put Manchester United back in front.

She's found a cross to the back post but the Germany international attempts to caress a finish back across the goal with the outside of her boot and misses the target.

This is so promising from London City Lionesses.

The half-time team talk would have been 'more of the same'.

They're really on the front foot here - we've had four or five entries into the Man City box

Isobel Goodwin is so keen to get on the ball. It shows her intention to want to score those goals and be a lot more cutthroat than she was in the first half.

A jinking run from the lively Cornelia Kapocs provides some directness for Liverpool but she's unable to get a shot away.

Huge chance for London City!

Freya Godfrey cuts the ball back to an unmarked Kosovare Asllani around the penalty spot, but the former Man City player skies her first-time effort.

London City are building up a head of steam.

Freya Godfrey turns on the edge of the box and tries her luck, but her left-footed strike goes over.

Aston Villa's Lucy Parker has attempted six tackles in this game so far, more than any other player on the pitch. She will be hoping more of play is Manchester United's half in the second period.

London City have started well, and look dangerous whenever they get on the ball in the City half.

City are looking a little sloppy in possession, and need to be careful they don't get caught out.

The hosts shout for a penalty as Rebecca Knaak slides in on Kosovare Aslanni, but the referee says no. Replays show the City defender didn't get much of the ball.

We're back under way for the second halves, though Leicester v West Ham is running a bit behind.

London City Lionesses have certainly had their chances and would be level but for a couple of inches of paintwork on the Manchester City goal.

Chelsea fans - and those who are hoping for a title race - will be rooting for an equaliser in the second half.

But how likely is that?

I did hear the rumours and I was very, very surprised.

That's incredible that Alexia Putellas has come down to support. Putellas in Bromley, I never thought I'd see the day or hear those words.

The fans will be super excited. She's such a legend. Such a hero.

How about this for a quick turnaround? Alexia Putellas scored a late penalty in last night's Supercopa final to seal the trophy for Barcelona, who beat Real Madrid 2-0 in Castellon.

Yep, that's right - Putellas and Patri were playing football in Spain last night, and yet were both seated for an 11.55am kick off in southeast London this morning.

They must have had a pretty good reason to attend to keep a lid on celebrating with her Blaugrana team-mates...

The half time result is not doing London City Lionesses justice.

They've had some really good chances and it'll just takes one more opportunity to equal things up.

London City have not rolled over or capitulated.

They're gunning for a win or a draw.

A tame opening period exploded into life with Verena Hanshaw's free-kick. Leicester have had their moments, but they trail at the break.
