MatchWSL: Eight stats to know before West Ham United v Liverpool
The Reds wrap up a run of three consecutive away matches by taking on Rehanne Skinner's Hammers at Chigwell Construction Stadium.
Opta have supplied the following facts and figures ahead of the 11.55am GMT kick-off...
This is Liverpool's third away game in the WSL in the space of eight days, with only Tottenham Hotspur in May 2022 (six days) and Bristol City in September 2013 (seven days) having less time between three matches on the road in the competition's history.
West Ham have won only one of their 10 WSL meetings with Liverpool (drawn four, lost five), winning 4-2 at Rush Green under Matt Beard in February 2020.
This exact fixture has ended in a draw in each of the last three seasons, with Riko Ueki netting late equalisers for the Hammers in the last two campaigns (95th minute in October 2023, 85th minute in September 2024).
Ceri Holland has been directly involved in twice as many WSL goals against West Ham than any other Red (four – one goal, three assists). Indeed, Holland assisted the winner the last time these two sides met in the top flight (1-0 in February this year).
Ueki has scored each of West Ham's last three WSL goals against Liverpool and is the only Hammer to score in their last six league meetings with the Reds.
Liverpool have only won their final away league game in two of the last seven calendar years (drawn two, lost three), beating Sunderland in the WSL2 in 2021 (3-1) and Manchester United in the WSL in 2023 (2-1).
West Ham have won their final home WSL match in three of the last four calendar years.
The Reds have lost each of their last five away WSL games against opposition from London. They will seek to avoid equalling the club's longest losing streak at opponents from the capital in the top flight, after suffering six such defeats from October 2018 to March 2023.
