Ciara Fleming and Alex Brotherton
1. Everton 1-0 West Ham
Ffion Morgan thinks she has the freedom of the near flank for West Ham after shaking off Hikaru Kitagawa, but just as she gets into her stride she's penalised for a push.
2. Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool
Having lost their last home WSL game to Arsenal three weeks ago, Chelsea were facing the possibility of losing back-to-back home league games for the first time since 2013 today.
That won't happen unless Liverpool takes things up a few notches, though. The Blues are very comfortable at the moment.
3. Aston Villa 1-3 Tottenham
Another chance for Bethany England goes begging. The Spurs skipper beats the defender to Julie Blakstad's low cross to the near post, but her first-time effort goes over.
4. Everton 1-0 West Ham
Oona Siren's attempted shot rolls kindly into the feet of team-mate Riko Ueki, who spins and lets fly, but it's blocked before Ruby Mace sweeps up the bouncing ball by booting it into touch on the far side.
5. Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool
Martha Thomas receives the ball with her back to goal midway through the Chelsea half and, as she turns, she sees acres of space in front of her.
The Tottenham loanee opts to go for goal but doesn't quite catch the shot, and it rolls harmlessly into the gloves of Hannah Hampton.
6. Everton 1-0 West Ham
Hikaru Kitagawa is OK to continue for Everton after a bit of treatment, so play has resumed.
7. Aston Villa 1-3 Tottenham
We're back underway at Villa Park, and the home side almost pulls a goal back!
Chasity Grant slides a cut-back across the face of goal, but Rachel Maltby, who has just come on as a half-time substitute for Lucy Staniforth, can't quite reach it on the slide.
8. Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool
Both Gareth Taylor and Sonia Bompastor opted to make a change at the break.
Mia Enderby, who has scored with each of her past three shots on target in the WSL, has replaced Alice Bergstrom in the visitors' front line.
For Chelsea, Lucy Bronze has come on for Sandy Baltimore in the left-back berth.
9. Brighton v Arsenal postponed
Breaking
Brighton have posted on X: After an inspection by the referee following the removal of pitch protection covers, today's WSL game against Arsenal at the Broadfield Stadium has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. A rearranged date and ticket information will follow soon.
10. Man Utd 1-1 London City Lionesses
We're back underway. Will Manchester United produce an improved second-half performance?
Two changes for the hosts - Hanah Lundkvist and Julia Zigiotti Olme replace Gabby George and Simi Awujo.
11. Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool
The ball is also back rolling at Kingsmeadow.

Wow, Villa are in free fall. Seriously going backwards.

12. Everton 1-0 West Ham
Hikaru Kitagawa is down holding her mouth after catching a stray arm to the face, so the physios are making their way on to tend to her.
13. Everton 1-0 West Ham
Rita Guarino turned to her bench at the break, bringing on the speedy Ffion Morgan in place of Leila Wandeler.
We're just getting back underway on Merseyside now.
14. HT: Everton 1-0 West Ham
That first half was a struggle for West Ham, evidenced by the combined touch map of their front three: Riko Ueki, Shekiera Martinez, and Viviane Asseyi.
Just 39 touches between the three of them, and only four in the Everton box. Talk about being starved of service.

Man Utd could have and should have had two penalties in that first half. The performance from them hasn't been good enough, but that doesn't excuse those decisions not being made. Park was clearly tripped, and Schuller was dragged down with no attempt to get the ball.
Freddie, Manchester
16. HT: Man Utd 1-1 London City Lionesses
Emma Sanders
Marc Skinner storms down the tunnel and doesn't look impressed by that first-half performance.
Jess Park is shortly behind him, puffing her cheeks out as she has done for most of the match.
It's not been a great performance from United, and they are only in this due to Park's brilliance for the equaliser.

I am really pleased that Nusken is getting a run of games and showing her quality. She has never performed badly for Chelsea, and hopefully, Sonia continues giving her games. Also, I would put her up front and free Lauren James.
Roberto, Hunstanton
18. Toffees Good Value for Their Lead
HT: Everton 1-0 West Ham
The only thing that will be bothering interim Everton boss Scott Phelan at half-time is that his side only has one goal to show for that dominant first-half display.
19. HT: Aston Villa 1-3 Tottenham
Only one team is in it at half-time according to the stats.
But if Villa get the next goal, who knows? Martin Ho will be frustrated that Spurs have not finished this match off.
