Summer signing Niamh Charles starts for Manchester City in her first game at the Etihad Stadium for the club.

She’s joined in the starting XI by USA midfielder Sam Coffey, who comes in for Laura Blindkilde Brown.

It’s a dangerous front three with Lauren Hemp, Khadija Shaw and Aoba Fujino all starting.

Manchester City XI: Yamashita, Rose, Greenwood, Mead, Shaw, Hemp, Coffey, Fujino, Charles, Hasegawa, Wamser.

Subs: Cumings, Clinton, Fowler, Wienroither, Casparij, Blindkilde Brown, Beney, Prior, Davies.

There are injuries in defence for Arsenal so Lotte Wubben-Moy retains her place at centre-back.

Anneke Borbe continues to get the nod in goal.

Striker Stina Blackstenius is on the bench alongside Olivia Smith.

Arsenal XI: Borbe, Fox, Wubben-Moy, Stanway, Williamson, Caldentey, Little, Baum, Batlle, Russo, Cooney-Cross.

Subs: Misa, Catley, Foord, Smith, Maanum, Reuteler, Blackstenius, Cerci, Holmberg.

Best I can do is offer you a Chelsea sub, Steve.

Katie McCabe replaces Kadeisha Buchanan.

Charlton are forced into a change. Hawa Cissoko has injured herself making a successful last-ditch challenge on Olaug Tvedten.

The French defender limps off very gingerly and is replaced by Ellie Mason.

Nicole Anyomi has been on the pitch for less than a minute and she so nearly adds a fifth for London City.

Kadidiatou Diani clipped a cross to the back post and Anyomi went for the spectacular with an overhead kick but puts it just wide.

Could she have tried a simpler header?

Abbie Larkin has come alive since that goal. Villa just can't handle her at the moment.

London City try a clever on off the training ground. It doesn't really work and there's a bit of a scrap on the edge of the box before the visitors work the ball right, a cross is dinked in and Grace Geyoro, under pressure, volleys over from six yards out.

Tottenham have sent Shekiera Martinez on for goalscorer Victoria Pelova but it's London City threatening again.

They have a free-kick 25 yards out...

Another Villa change with Chasity Grant making way for Georgia Mullett.

Spurs scored four in the second half of their last WSL games and seven after the break in the game before that.

That's something for their fans to cling to as they try to fight back in this one. They do have a corner... but it doesn't even make it into the box as it hits the defender stood just 10 yards away.

Olivia Garcia is some player and, just like she did for Brighton's first two goals, she beats a player and reaches the byline, but this time a recovering defender gets back to tackle her before she can put a cross in.

Time for Palace to roll the dice as Shanade Hopcroft, Annabel Blanchard and Teyah Goldie are replaced by Sierra Enge, Shannon O'Brien and Molly-Mae Sharpe.

There was a couple of moments after Spurs got the goal where they were really buzzing but it's all gone flat again and London City have regained control of the game.

Birmingham want a penalty as Oceane Hurtre gets the ball in the Everton half and, with no-one up in support, tries to do it herself.

She gets into the box but then goes down under a fairly soft challenge. She wants a penalty but the referee is having none of it.

Midfielder Keira Walsh has had a hatful of chances today.

Firstly, she bends a lovely shot from the edge of the penalty area past Constance Picaud-Inconnu only to see it rebound off the inside of the post.

Then, after Alyssa Thompson recycles the play, Walsh controls the ball on her knee and volleys narrowly wide.

She's had four shots so far today - but no goals just yet.
