West Ham United Women v Liverpool Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Liverpool Women make the trip down to east London this weekend as they take on West Ham United Women at Victoria Road, with kick-off set for 2pm on Sunday 1st November. The Dagenham ground has become a familiar WSL away day in recent seasons, and Liverpool will be hoping to come away from it with all three points as they look to climb the table.
There's plenty at stake for both sides. Liverpool currently sit 10th in the Women's Super League, while West Ham are just below them in 12th, so this one has the look of a potentially significant match in the battle around the lower half of the division. Neither side will want to fall further behind in what's shaping up to be a tightly contested scrap away from the top of the table.
Form has been a concern for both clubs of late. Liverpool's last five WSL outings read LWLLD - a win over Everton the highlight, but defeats to Manchester City, Manchester United and Aston Villa either side of it, before a 2-2 draw with London City Lionesses in their most recent league fixture. West Ham, meanwhile, have endured a tougher run in the league, with LLLWL across their last five - a solitary win over Crystal Palace sandwiched between losses, including a heavy defeat away at Brighton in their most recent WSL game.
In terms of the bigger picture, Liverpool have scored more goals and conceded fewer than their hosts across the season so far, while West Ham have taken fewer points in total. Still, WSL form has a habit of being unpredictable, and Liverpool will know they can't afford to take anything for granted at Victoria Road.
On the injury front, LiverpoolFC.com has provided updates on several players as the Reds prepare for the trip, with news on Kerr, Woodham, Holland, Parry and Ward among those mentioned (LiverpoolFC.com). Supporters will be keeping an eye on the team news as it emerges closer to kick-off to see who is available for selection.
West Ham will be looking to arrest their recent slide in front of their own supporters, while Liverpool will be aiming to build on the spirit shown in their draw with London City Lionesses and push on up the table.
