Leicester 0-0 Man Utd
Oooft. A really good chance for Man Utd early on. Kirsty Hanson fumbles her way into the box and pokes it towards goal.
Kirsty Levell reacts well to make the save.
Victoria Williams
Brilliant start by the visitors, but what a shocker for Birmingham City.
The hosts fail to deal with the first corner of the game and there to pounce for an easy finish from close range is Victoria Williams.
That goal came after just two minutes!
Reading 0-0 Arsenal
Arsenal are on the charge straight from kick-off and young keeper Rhiannon Stewart - who is making her first WSL appearance - gets down well to keep out in-form Vivianne Miedema inside the opening minute. That will help settle Stewart's nerves.
Sam Kerr
A second for the Australian star.
The ball is whipped into the area with pace by Guro Reiten and Sam Kerr is there to make the most of it, heading home her second of the day!
Kerr heads Chelsea into 3-0 lead
Leicester 0-0 Man Utd
Off we go at the King Power too, a little later than planned.
Birmingham City 0-0 Brighton
We are under way at St Andrew's and this is how Birmingham City and Brighton line up today.

Chelsea 2-0 Everton
Willie Kirk makes a second change for Everton.
Claire Emslie is replaced by Valerie Gauvin. What impact can she have with 20 minutes remaining?

Pernille Harder is finding space in the area for Chelsea. That is two chances in two minutes she should have put away.
Chelsea 2-0 Everton
Pernille Harder will ask herself how she hasn't scored today.
Just in the past few minutes alone she has had two big chances she really should have buried.

Image source, Getty ImagesWill Vivianne Miedema continue her hot scoring streak?
The Netherlands forward scored her 100th goal for Arsenal on Thursday as they booked their place in the group stage of the Champions League with a 4-0 victory over Slavia Prague.
Miedema, who has been with the Gunners since 2017, is the fastest Arsenal player in history to reach that incredible milestone, doing so in just 110 appearances.
The 25-year-old also scored in the 3-2 win over defending WSL champions Chelsea last week.
Reading's defenders might just be in for a busy afternoon.
Chelsea 2-0 Everton
Fran Kirby with a neat lofted cross into the box.
Sam Kerr makes a mess of a chance in the middle of a crowded area, and the ball breaks kindly for Perinelle Harder.
The Dane, however, crashes her effort against the post.

Chelsea are giving Everton no respite at all.
Guro Reiten runs the ball deep and cuts it back across goal with real power. It gets under Sandy MacIver, but there is no-one there for Chelsea to finish it off.

Chelsea 2-0 Everton
Chelsea force a corner and it causes all sorts of panic in Everton's defence.
The ball falls to Fran Kirby at the back post, but Sandy MacIver does enough to deny the England forward.
Chelsea 2-0 Everton
Everton looking a little more composed now after the costly second goal.
A lovely ball is floated in from the right, but Izzy Christiansen is beaten to the ball. Well defended by Chelsea.
