    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.

    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.

    I think that with Manchester United we're seeing the lack of summer transfer activity or "development of youth" coming back to bite them. Not to mention the untimely change of manager just before the start of the season.

    HT: Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea

    It's been an one-sided affair so far in Leigh, as the numbers suggest.

    Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea HT stats: Possession 32.8 v 67.2, shots 1 v 10, on target 1 v 4, xG 0.1 v 0.8

    Smooth sailing for Chelsea so far.

    Sonia Bompastor's side are 2-0 up with goals from Sjoeke Nusken and Keira Walsh.

    Manchester United have simply failed to match the quality the Blues have offered.

    I thought Lauren James hit the strike early but she still managed to force Tullis-Joyce into a save.

    Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea

    Lauren James looks to curl one past from the edge of the box and Phallon Tullis-Joyce matches it with a good save.

    But the danger is not clear as Ellie Carpenter is there to pounce on the loose ball. However, it is a good block from Andrea Medina to deny the Chelsea full-back a certain goal.

    Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea

    It's not been an easy afternoon for Manchester United full-back Andrea Medina in particular.

    Chelsea have regularly searched for Ellie Carpenter and her overlapping runs on that right wing today.

  15. Postpublished at 40 mins

    Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea

    Elisabeth Terland's tame effort in the 10th minute remains Manchester United's only effort of the game so far. Eva Olid will be hoping for improvements from her players in the second half.

    We have strikers, they’re just injured. Malard is a good signing from Utd and Ramirez to hopefully come back. Keep the faith.

    Peter, Bicester

    Confident that we will be scoring plenty of goals once Malard is back from injury. An immense striker.

    From the resulting corner, Lauren James tries to find the top corner from outside the box.

    But the Chelsea attacker's radar has been slightly off so far this afternoon.

    Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea

    Chelsea continue to camp themselves in the final third.

    Hinata Miyazawa looks to have kept the ball in play after winning possession on the right wing but the assistant referee deems the ball to have gone out and award a corner-kick to the Blues.

    Exciting game? Not really. Playing out from the back and too many passes going sideways from United. We need to hit it up the front and we need to do it now!

    Any way back for Manchester United now? You highly doubt so.

    Chelsea have been back to their best today after their faltering start last week.
