There's lots of conversations going on in the dugouts as both Andree Jeglertz and Renee Slegers go back and forth to their seats to discuss tactics with the analysts and assistant coaches. It's been an intriguing battle so far but perhaps not very electric.

Manchester City are putting pressure on Arsenal and their changing positions in those forward areas is really difficult for Arsenal to deal with.

There's just no space for City to exploit in this Arsenal backline. It's very, very intricate stuff.

City are seeing plenty of the ball here and Carlotta Wamser flies up the pitch but Ona Batlle uses her pace to put in a great challenge.

Arsenal's press is so high but City play through it brilliantly to drag themselves up the pitch.

That was a bizarre passage of play because City overplayed it at the back and got really fortunate that it bounced off Sam Coffey and fell kindly for Beth Mead.

She managed to get it through to Khadija Shaw and then it was such a tame effort. It's been quite a slow 15 minutes or so and the crowd needs picking up.

For the second time already, Leah Williamson heads Bunny Shaw rather than the ball.

Yeah straight up ball but it's lovely play. Stings the palms.

Bunny Shaw sits Leah Williamson down before gliding past Lotte Wubben-Moy but her effort is fired straight at Anneke Borbe.

That was such good defending from Alex Greenwood. She stands her up and it's strong defending from her.

We're still lacking a big chance in this one. It's been a bit of a cagey opening as these big games usually are.

Lovely play from City to move up the pitch. The ball is eventually lifted into the box but it's just too long.

This time Niamh Charles times her challenge really well on Lisa Baum and wins the goal kick.

Top stuff from the full-back.

We've not seen much of Bunny Shaw yet and Arsenal will be hoping to keep it that way.

So, so good from Yui Hasegawa to skip free of three Arsenal players all trying to press her.

Talk about a press-resistant player.

Really good play from Arsenal. Russo offers so much more than goals, her hold-up play is outstanding, her movement and the way she takes players away.

Bunny Shaw misses the header but Alessia Russo can't quite bring it under control and Aoba Fujino hooks clear.

Arsenal have another chance to send a corner in.

It's good, sustained pressure this.

Georgia Stanway threads a ball into the box for Alessia Russo but Jade Rose is tight to her and sends it out for a corner.
