What the coach has to say
Crystal Palace only just promoted to the Women’s Super League this season but that does not mean Rehanne Skinner, and her side will go easy on the: “It’s a tough league to be in, but they are doing well. We want to make sure we make life as difficult as possible for them this weekend, as always. We won’t be pulling back any punches, we’ll be going for it. It’s a London derby, we’re not going to be messing about. It’ll be a good test and a really good game.”
Nevertheless, Rehanne Skinners knows better than anyone how experienced Kaminski is: “I’ve worked with Laura [Kaminski] before when I was at Tottenham, she was the Academy Coach there and she’s been around the game a long time – she’s clearly gained experience that will help her.”

Team News Crystal Palace
Head coach Kaminski did not give a squad update during her pre-match press conference.
What the coach has to say:
What are you expecting from West Ham United: “Watching them, well disciplined, well set-up in terms of the shape that they play. They have been consistent with that. They have been unlucky with some chances, had some good chances very close to the wire. Must be disappointed to not put them away. So, yes, it’s a challenge for us and a serious opponent. We must be prepared for the day.”
Kaminski and her team really need the points, just like West Ham United, if they want to stay in the Women’s Super League. “The points are key. You can get a point and turn your position in the league around quite quickly. Obviously three points has a huge impact on your position, which gives a different feeling. This Sunday is just another game for us in terms of that. We see every game as an opportunity to get points on the board. And this is another one of those weekends where we want to go into the game confident and try our best to stay in the game.”
The head coach will not put too much pressure on the match as “no one is relegating on Sunday”.

Getting on the score sheet is not the issue, but Crystal Palace gave it away against Aston Villa and Everton.
