Preview

Defending Women's Super League champions Chelsea began the new campaign on the back foot earlier this month, losing their opener 2-1 against newly promoted Liverpool, but they bounced back with a 2-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday.

The victory at Kingsmeadow was not the most convincing display from the Blues, who could have easily been behind at the break, but they dug deep to take maximum points and can put in another efficient performance against West Ham.

Paul Konchesky's side are unlikely to cause Chelsea many problems, having lost 2-0 to Manchester United last time out and they have managed only three shots on target across their first two games.

Fran Kirby has started the season well for Chelsea and Magdalena Eriksson, Kadeisha Buchanan and Millie Bright make up a strong back three who can keep things tight against the Hammers. Back Chelsea to win in a match featuring under 3.5 goals.

There is also action in the Women's Champions League on Wednesday with plenty to play for in Benfica's tie against Rangers.

Benfica won the first leg 3-2 at Ibrox, scoring in both halves, and they have netted ten times in their first two league games so could be worth chancing at 11-10 to win the game after leading at half-time.
