West Ham United v Chelsea: Kick-off time, where to watch and more
From the official Chelsea FC website:
Our first Women’s Super League match of 2025 will see the Blues travel to West Ham United this weekend. Here is all you need to know…
We are back in league action for the first time in over a month when we visit London rivals West Ham who are the only side Sonia Bompastor‘s side are yet to play in the WSL this season.
Following the winter break, the Blues made their return last weekend by defeating Championship side Charlton Athletic 4-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup. That win extended our unbeaten run to 17 games and we will be looking to make it 18 against the Hammers…
Where and when
The Blues travel to the Chigwell Construction Stadium on Sunday 19 January, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm.
How to follow
As always, you can follow along on the West Ham v Chelsea Match Centre on the official Chelsea website and app, with minute-by-minute match commentary provided throughout. You can also follow events on Chelsea Women’s social media channels on X, Facebook and Instagram.
The match was not selected for television broadcast, but will be shown live on the WSL YouTube channel.
The form
Bompastor’s side currently sit six points clear at the top of the league table. The Blues are the only team who remain undefeated in the WSL thus far, having won nine and drawn one of the 10 matches played before the winter break.
Our opponents sit 10th with eight points. Rehanne Skinner’s side have picked up two wins this season – against Crystal Palace and Leicester City – have drawn twice and lost on six occasions.
Recent head-to-head
The two sides met on three occasions last season, twice in the WSL and in the fourth round of the FA Cup in January 2024, with the Blues winning each of the encounters.
Both league clashes finished 2-0 in Chelsea’s favour with Sam Kerr and Erin Cuthbert scoring at home at Kingsmeadow in October, while Aggie Beever-Jones and Cuthbert netted in the away contest.
Mia Fishel scored our first goal of 2024 when we faced West Ham in last season’s FA Cup. The American forward’s goal on home turf levelled the game in the 70th minute after the visitors took the lead through Viviane Asseyi in the first half. Cuthbert gave us the lead in extra time before Sjoeke Nusken wrapped up proceedings to secure a 3-1 win.
