    Lobato does brilliantly, it's sloppy with an unconfident pass back to the keeper. Lobato manages to get back in time though.

    What a clearance!

    London City forward Nicole Anyomi runs onto a loose ball and prods it through the legs of goalkeeper Sophie Whitehouse who is well off her line.

    The ball runs towards the empty goal and looks certain to go in, but Charlton defender Lucia Lobato sprints back and clears off the goal-line. Some effort that.

    It's almost a goal straight out of Barcelona.

    London City defender Mapi Leon whips in a great first time cross from the left straight onto the boot of Alexia Putellas, but her cushioned volley is gathered by Sophie Whitehouse.

    Alexia Putellas plays in Nicole Anyomi down the left side of the box with another exquisite pass.

    The angle is against the German and she pokes the ball through the legs of Sophie Whitehouse, but the Charlton goalkeeper gets something on it and the ball trickles across the six yard box and is cleared.

    Birmingham City will feel crushed.

    They've just passed up another great opportunity to score through Suzu Amano and have been looking the side more likely to score in the past ten minutes.

    But an error by City captain Millie Turner looks to have squashed their chances of coming back into the game.

    She attempts to head the ball back to goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley, but there's not enough on it.

    Substitute Melvine Malard is alive to the chance. She flicks the ball over Baggaley really smartly and turns it home.

    With 15 minutes to play, Chelsea aren't home and dry. But it was starting to get very tense at Stamford Bridge, and they've now got a two-goal cushion.

    Two more changes for London City as Maria Perez and Nikita Parris come on for Danielle van de Donk and Grace Geyoro.

    It's a big step up for Charlton and it's going to be a difficult season for them. Not only are the other teams very competitive, the style of football that Charlton play with will make it difficult.

    Chelsea 1-0 Birmingham City

    Birmingham City win it back high up the pitch and work it really nicely to Suzu Amano inside the box.

    It's just about her first touch of the game, having just come on for Lee Geum-Min.

    Her shot flies over the bar. That was another good chance for the host. Can they find a leveller?

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:10 BST 19 September

    Charlton make a fifth change, with Keira Flannery replacing Elisha N'Dow.

    Charlton were slow to the first, slow to the second, just sloppy.

    Anyomi picks it up, she's the first one to react and she just puts it away nicely.

    Chelsea 1-0 Birmingham City

    The Stamford Bridge faithful are pleased to see Melvine Malard enter the fray.

    None more than Chelsea superfan Basil who, as usual, is doing a fine job of geeing up the home crowd.

    Game over!

    London City forward Freya Godfrey nods a clipped ball forward into the path of Danielle van de Donk, whose effort is beaten away by Sophie Whitehouse.

    But the rebound isn't cleared properly, and there is substitute Nicole Anyomi to strike into the bottom corner.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:07 BST 19 September

    Chelsea 1-0 Birmingham City

    Melvine Malard is coming on for Chelsea.

    It's her France team-mate Sandy Baltimore who makes way.

    Sonia Bompastor cannot believe that Neve Herron challenge hasn't led to a penalty for her side.

    She is very animated in her box. She wants to see more goals from her side.

    Much better play there from Charlton. They got bodies up the pitch higher in support, that's what they need.

    Charlton Athletic 1-3 London City Lionesses

    Grace Johnston whips in an excellent cross from the right, but London City manage to bundle the ball behind from a corner.

    Goalkeeper Elene Lete wasn't sure whether to come or go for that one.

  18. CLOSE!published at 14:04 BST 19 September

    Chelsea 1-0 Birmingham City

    Oh me, oh my. Birmingham City's Wilma Leidhammar will seldom get a better chance to score.

    From the right wing, Lily Crosthwaite flashes the ball across the face of the goal. Leidhammar is there, under pressure from Lucy Bronze, and she gets a touch on it...

    But it loops into the gloves of Hannah Hampton.

    Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has been shown a yellow card.

    She is adjudged to have been too strong in her complaints regarding Alyssa Thompson's penalty shout.

    Chelsea 1-0 Birmingham City

    Big, big penalty shout for Chelsea there.

    Birmingham City defender Neve Herron has no choice but to intervene as Alyssa Thompson surges clear on goal, with only Sophie Baggaley to beat.

    She brings Thompson down just outside the six-yard box, the referee waves it clear.

    But on closer inspection, it doesn't look like Herron touches the ball.

    How important will that call be come the final whistle?
