Alisha Lehmann has backed West Ham United to continue their good run in Wednesday's Women's Super League clash with Reading FC.
The Irons head into the midweek match on the back of two SSE Women's FA Cup wins, which has put Matt Beard's team into the quarter-finals of the prestigious competition.
Next up for the Hammers is a trip to sixth-placed Reading, and West Ham can jump over the Royals in the league table with a win on Wednesday.
Hopefully we can keep the momentum up and keep winning games. We want to stay on an up and we need to play at our best to do that on Wednesday.
