West Ham will travel to Boreham Wood to face the currently undefeated Arsenal side hoping to keep their winning streak , in attempt to win the WSL this year.
However, West Ham are back in great form and looking to make it 3 wins in a row following wins over Aston Villa (breaking their deadlock of wins) and Reading (whom Arsenal managed to scrape a 1-0 win over thanks to a goal by Stina Blackstenius)
Although Arsenal go into the match as favorites, the Hammers still have a chance, especially considering their great counter attack record, which has caught big sides and the likes of the gunners out before. West Ham manager, Paul Konchesky said that his side 'know the quality Arsenal have' and that they know the Gunners 'strengths and weaknesses' he also went on to state his side have the capability , if kept to the game plans, to cause an upset.
