Team News West Ham United
Head coach Rehanne Skinner with the latest team news: “Everyone should be available this week. We’ve gradually started to get Seraina [Piubel] back into a position to be available. She wasn’t available last weekend, so we should be in a good position for this weekend.”
What the coach has to say
Rehanne Skinner on facing Leicester City: “Rick [Passmoor] is trying to make them hard to beat. They’re direct, they obviously play off a lot of second balls and try to get into key areas in behind teams. Obviously, it takes time to get used to your players. It takes time to get everybody into a system that you think is going to work for you, based on the personnel. You can see each game that he has, how he’s trying to adjust that moving forward. It’ll be a real physical battle. It’ll be a tough test.
“It’s great that we’re at home again. Being back in front of our fans after a really good performance at the weekend, the players have got a really good belief in the game and in themselves going into this weekend. I think it puts us in a positive position going into the weekend to try and make life as difficult for them as we can. We want to make sure we get some points this weekend.”
Team News Leicester City
Head coach Rick Passmoor confirmed that Missy Goodwin is available for the clash with West Ham United this weekend.
What the coach has to say
Rick Pasmoor on facing West Ham United: “Every week, you put together a game plan, look at a lot of information and review your opponent, and again with information, it’s about how you deliver that to the players. You want them to have a game plan but to feel relaxed and composed with how we play.
“West Ham, in some respects, are in a false position, because in a lot of games, they are playing well. They’re well drilled and at the moment it’s just about how they’re performing in both boxes, which happens to all teams at times.
“They played well against Man City this weekend and we need to make sure we play well as a team and are on our A-game to get a positive result.”
