The Blues claimed a point on the road at Manchester City last weekend, building on our opening day 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.

Hayes will hope her side can build on that positive start by adding another three points against the Hammers today, in our latest London derby.

Zecira Musovic continues in goal for the Blues and will be protected by a back three of Millie Bright, Maren Mjelde and Jess Carter.

Sophie Ingle keeps her place in midfield and is joined by Melanie Leupolz with Ashley Lawrence and Niamh Charles occupying the flanks.

Fran Kirby and Sam Kerr return to the attack, with Guro Reiten and Mia Fishel dropping out, with the duo leading the line with Lauren James.

Chelsea Women: Musovic; Bright, Mjelde, Carter; Lawrence, Ingle, Leupolz, Charles; James, Kirby, Kerr.

Chelsea Women substitutes: Berger, Nusken, Perisset, Fleming, Rytting Kaneryd, Cuthbert, Buchanan, Cankovic, Beever-Jones.
