Liverpool HT: Man City 1-0 West Ham Man City have dominated possession against West Ham (72%) and deservedly took the lead through Aoba Fujino in the 26th minute. That goal came from a West Ham error and Rehanne Skinner's side have been guilty of failing to take their chances at the other end. Viviane Asseyi came closest, hitting the bar in the 35th minute.

But I do feel Reiten is struggling a little bit because of being played out of position. Rytting-Kaneryd and Catarina Macario should have been in that line-up, but I do understand managing the players. Anon HT: Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses Jenna Schillaci Former Spurs captain on Radio 5 Sports Extra Chelsea have controlled the tempo and looked very dangerous going forward. 1-0 is not a comfortable scoreline, but looking at the bench they have players they can bring on if they need to. HT: Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Stamford Bridge It's been a bit scrappy, a bit stop-start and very even. London City Lionesses reacted to going behind very well and will be pleased with their performance. They are causing the champions lots of problems. Chelsea have been their usual ruthless selves and it was a great link-up between Sandy Baltimore and Ellie Carpenter. Sonia Bompastor clearly wants more from her team though. HT: Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses Defending champions Chelsea lead London City Lionesses 1-0 at Stamford Bridge. Ellie Carpenter bagged her first goal for the Blues, slotting home at the back post after a cross from Sandy Baltimore. However, Chelsea haven't had it all their own way, with London City enjoying 44% possession and looking dangerous on the counter through Izzy Goodwin. Unfortunately for Jocelyn Precheur, his side are yet to register a shot on goal. HT: Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses Jenna Schillaci Former Spurs captain on Radio 5 Sports Extra I think it is a lesson for London City. It shows if you switch off you do get punished. That is what happened very early on. They have had moments of really good play, but they lack that clinical edge. It's half-time at both Stamford Bridge and the Joie Stadium. Man City and Chelsea are leading 1-0. Man City 1-0 West Ham Man City's Laura Blindkilde Brown gives the ball away but Shekeira Martinez can't capitalise. She spins away from Man City's defence but doesn't drive forward with enough intent and her shot is blocked. Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses There's a pause in play at Stamford Bridge as London City Lionesses' Grace Geyoro receives some treatment after having her foot trodden on by Keira Walsh. The fourth official signals for two minutes of added time but we might have a little extra after that delay. Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses Should that have been a penalty? Wassa Sangare under pressure from behind from Chelsea's Sjoeke Nusken in the area. Would have been a bit harsh on the Chelsea midfielder, in my opinion. Man City 1-0 West Ham Bunny Shaw really should have scored there. She and Vivianne Miedema tag-teamed to dispossess Amber Tysiak but West Ham scramble bodies behind the ball to prevent Shaw from getting the shot off. They were briefly two on one with West Ham's keeper there. Excellent recovery from West Ham but they keep inviting pressure on themselves. Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Stamford Bridge Chelsea have had guests like Serena Williams at Stamford Bridge before but today it's the visitors bringing the stardust. Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird are the in stands alongside Michele Kang to support London City Lionesses - though I'm sure Rapinoe is keeping an eye on the US Soccer representatives. Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses Jenna Schillaci Former Spurs captain on Radio 5 Sports Extra Isobel Goodwin is doing a lot of ground work. London City are recognising that space in-behind the backline, but credit to Hannah Hampton, her starting position is very good. Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses A sigh of relief for Chelsea after consecutive shots from Nikita Parris and Izzy Goodwin go off target. London City Lionesses are making things uncomfortable for the defending champions, who only lead by one goal. Man City 1-0 West Ham It's all happening at the Joie Stadium! A heavy touch from goalkeeper Kinga Szemik, outside of her area, nearly lets in a Man City attacker. The West Ham keeper recovers to clear it away before Yui Hasegawa flashes a long-range effort wide with the goal gaping. That probably should have been 2-0 to Man City. Chelsea 1-0 London City Lionesses Chelsea's Erin Cuthbert goes into the referee's book for a late challenge on Nikita Parris. Man City 1-0 West Ham Oh! Vivianne Asseyi is so close to an equaliser for West Ham! Shekeira Martinez drives up the pitch and picks out Asseyi in the box but her shot clips the top of the bar. Man City 1-0 West Ham West Ham are not helping themselves. Trying to throw out from the back, Kinga Szemik holds onto the ball for too long and hits the back of one of her defenders. On this occasion, it drops nicely for the goalkeeper to have another go.
