Fresh off the back of earning a 3-0 first-leg lead in their UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-final tie with Ajax in midweek in Amsterdam, Chelsea return to WSL action with a trip to Chigwell Construction Stadium to face West Ham United on Sunday.
The Blues, who lead the way in the WSL thanks to a better goal difference than Man City, remain in the hunt for multiple trophies this season and will look to grab a sixth straight victory in all competitions here.
Meanwhile, the Hammers are currently languishing in 11th position in the WSL table and will be hoping to produce an upset to snap their three-game winless league run.
