Women: Arsenal v West Ham United - The Brief

We kick-off our 2018/19 season at Meadow Park on Sunday, when we face West Ham United in the FA WSL Continental Tyres Cup.

THE OPPOSITION

The 2017/18 campaign proved to be a successful year for the Hammers, who lifted two pieces of silverware and obtained a license to join the Women’s Super League this forthcoming season.

They were crowned champions of the FA WPL Plate and the Goodmove.co.uk Women’s Cup - and they come into this new season with great momentum, having won 12 of their last 15 competitive fixtures over this calendar year.

THE MANAGER’S NOTES

“We work hard in pre-season for moments like this, to make a good start to the season and cement ourselves in making sure that we’re up there,” Joe Montemurro told Arsenal.
