The two clubs need no introduction to each other. Chelsea and Arsenal have spent the past decade trading title challenges and cup finals, and any fresh meeting at Stamford Bridge carries that weight before a ball is kicked.

The Guardian ran live coverage of the match, tracking it minute by minute as both sides looked to make an early statement in the WSL season.

Neither club's recent WSL form featured heavily in the build-up, with attention instead on the occasion itself: a full Stamford Bridge, a genuine derby atmosphere, and two squads who know exactly what beating the other means in this league.

Full details on the final score and the moments that decided it will follow once the match concludes.
