London City Get Revenge Against West Ham in Gritty Subway Cup Win
The last time East met South London, West Ham claimed a somewhat surprising 2-1 victory over London City, and are thus far the only team to have taken points off the Lionesses in the WSL this season. The Hammers therefore came to the Chigwell Construction Stadium with the same hunger to win on Wednesday evening, hoping to continue their unbeaten streak in the Subway Player’s Cup and pull off another upset.
The two sides came into the match up separated by just one point and one place in the Cup table, with London City in 5th and West Ham in 6th. The visitors however were careful not to repeat their mistakes, and a daring sense of attack overruled a respectable effort by the Hammers to earn London City the three points and their third successive win in the Cup.

How West Ham are Looking to Turn a Corner in the 2026/27 Season
After finishing tenth in the Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) last season, this summer is more important than ever for West Ham United to ensure their ability to stay competitive in next season's expanded league. The 2025-26 season was turbulent for the club, after Rehanne Skinner was sacked in December after just one win in 11 league games. As they look ahead to the 2026-27 campaign, and new manager Rita Guarino’s first full season with the club, West Ham have made some of the most exciting signings in the league that should help them to confidently stake their claim in the WSL.
