    In the opening few minutes you can see, Everton have a back five. In possession, they'll try and use their attacking prowess. But you are always likely to concede possession to Chelsea.

  3. Chelsea 0-0 Everton

    Early signs are that Everton are going to have to work very hard off the ball today.

    Chelsea supporters in fine voice as they see their side at home for the first time this season.

    Games will help Everton gel.

    They need to get back to what they were good at last season; using the width and delivering balls into the box. They've signed Anna Anvegard, who is a natural goalscorer but needs service.

  7. Both sides have walked out onto the pitch, we are just minutes away from kick-off.

  8. 'Today won't define Everton's season'

    Everton are building; they brought nine new players in this summer. It'll take time to gel. It'll be a tough start, playing Manchester City and now Chelsea, but it won't define how they compete throughout the season.

    Emma Hayes will drive into the Chelsea players how important it is to win home matches. The pitch is a carpet and the fans always bring a great atmosphere. We heard them cheering during the warm up, they are relentless.

  14. Champions to 'come back fighting'

    Chelsea v Everton (12.30 BST)

    Women's Super League: Fran Kirby driven by desire to win more trophies with Chelsea

    And that's a defeat that could really spell danger for Everton today, judging by what Chelsea's Fran Kirby said during the week.

    The 28-year-old forward said the champions will "come back fighting" in search of more positive results.

    You can read more about what Kirby had to say by clicking here.

  15. Chelsea upstaged

    Chelsea started their title defence with a defeat against an Arsenal side that very much showed they will be a force to contend with this season.

    It was a game of high quality, drama and controversy - with replays showing Beth Mead looked offside when she fired home Arsenal's winner at Emirates Stadium.

    Chelsea boss Emma Hayes came out of it feeling like a "second-class citizen" as video assistant referee technology is not used in the WSL.

  16. Everton hit for four

    Everton, a side with Champions League aspirations this season, got a reality check on the opening weekend as Manchester City cruised to a 4-0 win at Goodison Park.

    It was an historic game as the first in the WSL to be shown free-to-air on UK television.

    Everton boss Willie Kirk said "the occasion" may have played a part in last week's showing.

    Today they can make amends as they are back on the BBC and up against another WSL giant.
