West Ham United Women return to Barclays Women’s Super League action this weekend as they host Leicester City Women in an important league fixture.

The match will take place on Sunday 25 January, with kick-off scheduled for 11:55am, at Chigwell construction stadium, Victoria Road, Dagenham, West Ham’s home venue for the 2025/26 season.



The Hammers will be looking to build momentum as the season pushes on. Recent performances have shown encouraging signs, with West Ham combining defensive organisation with greater attacking intent.

Leicester arrive in east London searching for consistency, but will see this fixture as an opportunity to claim valuable points away from home.

Based on the last few outings, West Ham are expected to line up in a familiar shape, likely a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system.

Leicester City are likely to set up with a compact and disciplined approach, aiming to frustrate West Ham and exploit space on the counter-attack. Their recent selections suggest a settled back line, with a hard-working midfield tasked with limiting space and supplying their forwards quickly in transition.

Overall, West Ham are expected to take the initiative on home soil, pressing high and looking to control possession, while Leicester will focus on staying organised and taking chances when they arise. With both sides eager to strengthen their league position, supporters can expect a competitive and tightly-fought encounter in Dagenham.




Expected line-ups

West Ham Utd: Szemik, Morgan, Endo, Nyström, Cascarino, Cemal, Siren, Brasero, Wandeler, Ueki, Asseyi

Leicester City: Leitzig, Kees, Tierney, Van Egmond, Ale, Mayling, Mcloughlin, O’Brian, Neville, Lehmann, Goodwin
