The battle for the WSL’s ‘best of the rest’ title is cranking up as West Ham face Everton on Sunday afternoon.
After falling short to fourth-place Manchester City in a 1-0 loss to mark their first match since the winter break, the Hammers are gunning to return to winning ways in the league with a first victory of 2023 as they travel to Walton Hall Park to take on the Toffees, who sit one place higher than West Ham in the WSL table at sixth on goal difference.
The Hammers topped their FA WSL Cup group with a goalless draw against Brighton & Hove Albion midweek, but manager Paul Konchesky voiced no allusions to the challenge ahead if his squad hope to regain the fifth-place league berth and close the gap to the league's top.
