All hands on deck for London City as Elene Lete claws away a teasing Lauren Hemp cross. Khadija Shaw was lurking.

In the next phase of play Shaw skips past a tackle to reach the byline, but her cutback across the face of goal is cleared.

Aston Villa have looked very organised defensively. Direct runs by Jess Park and Melvine Malard have cause the most threat for Manchester United but Villa's backline have been able to shepherd away the danger.

Khadija Shaw stings the palms of Elene Lete with a low strike towards the bottom corner.

Liverpool with another good chance. Cornelia Kapocs slips in Aurelie Csillag, but she cannot quite find the angle and her shot is saved by Lize Kop, diving low to her right.

Kerolin, who is running riot this half, gets to the byline and looks to squeeze a shot in at the near post, but is denied by a fine block from Wassa Sangare.

London City fire a warning shot!

Kosovare Asllani plays in Isobel Goodwin behind the City defence, but instead of shooting on her left foot the strike tries to cut inside and is dispossessed by Yui Hasegawa.

Tottenham have slowly settled into the game but it's Liverpool who continue to show all of the attacking intent thus far.

Aurelie Csillag has shown some nice touches for the Reds while Fuka Nagano has drawn a smart a save from Tottenham goalkeeper Lize Kop with an angled shot.

Manchester City aren't letting up. They know they will go nine points clear at the top of the WSL with a victory today.

London City Lionesses just can't get out at the moment.

You could feel that coming.

The intensity from Man City had lifted in the past couple of minutes.

Yui Hasegawa has been trying to thread those balls through. It only took one to get Kerolin away and it's a great finish.

The keeper had no chance.

It feels well deserved.

A ball over the top from Manchester United which is chased by Lea Schuller but Aston Villa goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck is off her line as quick as a flash to snuff out the danger on the edge of the box.

Moments later Ellen Wangerheim cuts in from the right flank but her left-footed shot goes way over the crossbar.

Well...huge chance for Khadija Shaw!

Kerolin hooks the ball across the face of goal into the path of Shaw, but from a few yards out she can't quite reach it and the chance is gone.

Bunny Shaw is prolific.

She's got versatility, she scores in any which way - the diving headers, going direct with the ball.

You can trust on Bunny Shaw

She struggled at the start of the season a bit, finding her feet and getting goals.

But in the past few games she's been absolutely prolific. She's showing her worth this season.

Man City defender Rebecca Knaak picks up the first booking of the day for bringing down Freya Godfrey as she charged down the wing.

An early chance for Liverpool as Alice Bergstrom hits an instinctive effort which bounces back out off the crossbar. A positive start from the Reds at the St Helens Stadium.

West Ham go close!

A cross comes in from the right and West Ham striker Shekiera Martinez meets it, but her effort deflects off the defender and then back off her and goes behind for a goal-kick.

I don't think Man City's League Cup loss will affect them. Six points is a healthy gap. I believe the talent in that squad will get over the line in the end. It's going to be tough, there's going to be a charge.

Today will be a massive challenge. There's so much hunger within that team, from the start of season when I wasn't so sure, I can see it in their eyes.

We know there's going to be a heavy charge from Chelsea and it's going to be a very exciting title race this season.

London City skipper Kosovare Asllani shoots from distance, but it's well over the bar. First shot of the game goes to the hosts.
