Gilly Flaherty for West Ham Women

Women's Team News v Man City: Evans & Parker start, Flaherty makes 100th appearance

Olli Harder has named the West Ham United Women’s side that will take on Manchester City this morning at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.
 
There are two changes to the side that was beaten by Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, one of which is enforced.
 
Katerina Svitkova misses out against the Citizens, with the Czech Republic international unavailable through illness.
 
Lisa Evans and Lucy Parker come into the starting XI for Svitkova and Abbey-Leigh Stringer, who is amongst the substitutes bench.
 
Harder will be pleased to also have Claudia Walker and Emma Snerle available for selection once again, with the duo recovering from Covid-19 - they line-up on the bench in east London.
 
Mackenzie Arnold will lineup in goal for the Irons for the Barclays FA Women's Super League clash with City, while captain Gilly Flaherty makes her historic 100th appearance for West Ham United. 

The skipper is joined by Hawa Cissoko and Grace Fisk in defence while Parker and Kate Longhurst take the wing-back roles. 

Tameka Yallop Dagný Brynjarsdóttir are in the side, as is Yui Hasegawa, who scored a sensational lob in the 2-0 win for the Irons in the reverse fixture back in October. 

Evans and Adriana Leon complete the starting XI for today's match.
 
West Ham United: Arnold; Fisk, Flaherty (c), Cissoko, Parker, Longhurst; Yallop, Brynjarsdóttir, Hasegawa; Evans, Leon.
