West Ham United women's team take on Barclays Women's Super League leaders Chelsea at Chigwell Construction Stadium for their first test of the New Year on Sunday.
The Hammers went into the festive break with back-to-back home WSL wins over Leicester City and Crystal Palace, scoring six goals in the process, in addition to a comfortable victory over Southampton in the Subway Women's League Cup group stage.
Sonia Bompastor’s new-look side have taken the league by storm, creating a six-point buffer between themselves and second-place Manchester City at the top of the WSL standings, winning nine and losing just one of their ten matches to date. A strong Blues team dispatched Charlton Athletic in the Women’s FA Cup last Sunday, too.
There is confidence flowing through Rehanne Skinner's squad, but as far as first WSL matches of the year go, Sunday's clash at home to Chelsea will pose a significant challenge for the Hammers.
