WSL Match Preview

West Ham welcome one of the league’s most dominant sides and will need discipline across the pitch. Their ability to stay compact and take rare chances on the counter could define their chances.

Chelsea, meanwhile, brings depth, quality, and a ruthless mentality. They’re capable of breaking down stubborn defences through patience as much as flair, and they won’t panic if it takes time to unlock West Ham.

The challenge for the hosts is to match Chelsea’s intensity for 90 minutes — no easy feat against such seasoned campaigners.
