There is so much to love about that move. Keira Walsh, the authority and weight of the pass to Lauren James. That was so clever form Chelsea and two absolute world-class players combining. Surely that is the breathing space they needed.

Pace from Alyssa Thompson to get into the box on the left and the United States crosses in towards the far post. Lauren James is waiting there but just can't wrap her foot around the ball.

Moments later, Sjoeke Nusken has the chance to score at the same post but the result is the same.

Chelsea are threatening to score a third here.

Andrea Medina is unable to continue here and she makes her frustration clear while being replaced by Anna Sandberg. She has disappeared straight down the tunnel after the change.

Lauren James almost finds her goal. But her volley is saved by Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who had to make ground before diving full stretch to her right.

There is a break in play as Andrea Medina needs some attention from the medical staff.

The Spaniard and Lexi Potter went for the ball and the latter comes out of it worse.

Manchester United will have to play with a player short for now.

Subs: Thomas, Startup, Harris, Rastocle, Leidhammar, Amano, Holloway, Cornet, Effa Effa

Lauren James attempted five shots in the first half against Manchester United. You wouldn't bet against her scoring in the second half.

There is a couple of times Ellie Carpenter has been caught offside, she is very eager to make those runs.

Ellie Carpenter continues to test Manchester United with her runs along the right-hand side.

The Chelsea full-back is finding plenty of space and regularly stretching the home defence.

A better start to this second half from Manchester United.

They force Alyssa Thompson into a foul on the right wing but play the free-kick short and fail to threaten Chelsea from the set-piece opportunity.

We are back under way for the second half in Leigh and no changes from either side.

We'll also be bringing you the team news from all three 14:00 BST kick-offs shortly right here.

Tottenham had a strong transfer window as they looked to build on last season's successful season in the WSL.

Martin Ho earned deserved praise for his debut campaign in charge but the pressure is on now to build on that.

He was backed by the club in the market and among those to arrive was Aston Villa's top-scorer Kirsty Hanson.

She hit the ground running in their opening win over West Ham, scoring twice, and she will relish the opportunity to go again today.

Ho was full of praise for the Scotland international in his media conference this week but believes there is still more to come.

Liverpool could not have hoped for a better start to the season as they swept aside newly-promoted Charlton Athletic to win 4-0 last weekend.

They know today will be a much bigger test but given it took them until January last season to get their first win, it was a big step.

That victory in January actually came against Spurs as Gareth Taylor's side won 2-0 to start their climb up the table from potential relegation.

It's a different story this season with the club more settled and new signings from the last two transfer windows boosting the squad.

Taylor has had a full pre-season and those new signings - most notably Vivien Endermann - made an immediate impact against Charlton.

If they can get a result here against a strong Tottenham team, in their first home game of the season, it would signal huge growth.

We have got five more games to come today and live on the BBC is newly promoted Crystal Palace's daunting trip to Arsenal at 14:45 BST.

While Palace got off to the perfect start with victory over Everton last Sunday, Renee Slegers' Gunners are unbeaten in 19 home games, a club record, and also won 1-0 last weekend, on the road at Brighton.

Build-up gets going at 14:30 on BBC Two on BBC iPlayer and then remember to stick around for The Women's Football Fallout after the game has ended.
