Erin Cuthbert after the draw with Everton at Stamford Bridge: "Disappointed not to get three points. We knew how hard Everton would be with the second best defensive record but we were sloppy all over the pitch. Our target was to et ahead early and we did that but we conceded an unfortunate goal.

"We weren't quite on the same page today but I cannot fault anyone's effort. It's just one of those days where we're not at the races and we can't have too many of those if we want to be in a title race."

"We had a few half chances today - set-pieces we were dangerous - but you have games where you grind out results, and today we've not managed it."

"There are a lot of unhappy people in our dressing room and rightly so because we expect to win games. We'll be back training tomorrow, hungry and focusing on our opponent on Tuesday night, Hacken (in the Champions League)."

This is an attacking change.

Erin Cuthbert has put a shift in for the team but isn't the threat they need.

Aggie Beever-Jones will go up front and make a top two with Melvine Malard. Having scored for the first time in ages last week, she'll be desperate to get on the scoresheet again.

What a goal for Aoba Fujino!

Wins the ball on the halfway line carries it all the way to the box to slide it in and give the hosts a comfortable lead.

Not only would it put City top of the table, but so far this game is very much helping their goal difference.

Funded by the FA, the PhD study involve clubs across the Women's Super League and WSL2.

Research suggests female footballers are two to six times more likely to suffer the injury than their male counterparts.

Vivianne Miedema, Beth Mead, Leah Williamson and Sam Kerr are among the players to have suffered the injury over recent years.

While previous studies have highlighted potential risk factors including anatomical, hormonal, biomechanical and environmental influences, researchers say less is known about how those factors interact in the day-to-day experience of elite football.

Straight from the training ground.

Chelsea play a short corner and Katie McCabe works up an angle to whip the ball towards the back post, where Lucy Bronze is waiting to head it back across the face of goal.

All Sandy Baltimore has to do is get her head on it.

Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz speaking to Sky Sports before their game against West Ham:

"West Ham is coming from an extraordinary game against Liverpool. We face a good team with good confidence. They're going to challenge us today."

On whether his side need to outscore Chelsea, with whom City are tied on points at the top of the table:

"No. I just want to win the game. If we score a lot of goals, I'll be happy. The league is so tight, I can't see the goal difference is going to be the difference to make us win the league. Today is about getting the points."

On City captain Alex Greenwood, who is not in today's matchday squad:

"She picked up a small injury the other day, we're still assessing. Unfortunately she's not available."
