Don't go making any other plans, we could be here a while yet. Aston Villa 1-1 Brighton A breathless end to the first half. Anna Patten Villa respond immediately though! Brighton won't be happy with how they have defended this either. A corner from the left by Jordan Nobbs drifts through everyone and Anna Patten is able to get in at the back post and force home from close range. Nikita Parris Great finish! This is a nightmare for Villa. Brighton try to find Nikita Parris in behind but the pass it overhit. It should easily be dealt with by the Villa defence but Lucy Parker gets her feet in a tangle and her touch is loose. That allows Parris to nip in and dink the ball past the advancing Sabrina D'Angelo and into the net. A 22nd FA Cup goal in 40 appearances for Parris.

Villa defender Anna Patten has conceded a free-kick and been given a yellow card because she came back onto the pitch before the referee had signalled she could after she'd received treatment. A good opportunity for Brighton to have a strike on goal then. .. Aston Villa 0-0 Brighton A rare attack for Villa in recent minutes sees Bayern Munich loanee Jill Baijings drive over the bar from range. Aston Villa 0-0 Brighton Brighton have definitely grown into this game. A scrap in the penalty area sees a loose ball break for Nadine Noordam. The January signing is able to get to the byline and tries to beat Sabrina D'Angelo at her near post but it is parried behind for a corner, which comes to nothing. Aston Villa 0-0 Brighton How has that not gone in? Brighton have a free-kick on the right and they take it short for Jelena Cankovic.

The Norway defender gets in a tangle though and is unable to force home with the goal at her mercy. Aston Villa 0-0 Brighton Brighton's first real sight of goal.

They finally have a spell of possession and that allows them, at least momentarily, to take the sting out of Villa's fast start. Their own attack breaks down after a poor pass, though. Aston Villa 0-0 Brighton Brighton just can't get a foothold in the game at the moment. Villa's latest attack is only halted by the offside flag before another cross from the left is scuffed by Rachel Daly. Natalia Arroyo will want her side to make the most of this dominance soon.
