Arsenal host West Ham United at Emirates Stadium on Saturday lunchtime in the Women’s Super League as Renee Slegers’ side look to extend their winning streak, with plenty of fans also checking the latest odds on various betting sites ahead of kick-off. The Gunners are on a run of eight consecutive wins across three competitions and sit fourth in the table with two games in hand on second placed Manchester United.
West Ham earned a creditable 0-0 draw at home to Manchester United on Wednesday evening, which keeps them three points clear of basement club Leicester City. Rita Guarino’s side have improved since the Italian took over from Rehanne Skinner just before the winter break.
Kick-off: 12:00 GMT, Sunday, March 21, 2026
Venue: Emirates Stadium, London
TV: Sky Sports
Maanum and Williamson Both Out
Frida Maanum is likely to miss the game with illness, which is a blow for Arsenal’s midfield options. Leah Williamson has been managing a small hamstring issue and is unlikely to be risked with the Champions League quarter final against Chelsea looming on Tuesday.
Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley, and Kyra Cooney-Cross are all unavailable following Australia’s qualification for the Asian Cup final against Japan on Sunday morning. Katie Reid, Manu Zinsberger, and Michelle Agyemang remain out with ACL injuries, which continues to stretch the squad.
Hammers Missing Asian Cup Trio
West Ham will be shorn of Riko Ueki, Katrina Gorry, and Yu Endo due to the Asian Cup. This robs them of three important players, but that didn’t stop them from shutting out Manchester United in midweek, which was absolutely impressive.
Viviane Asseyi and Anouk Martinez are two of the best attackers in the bottom half of the WSL. They give West Ham a significant threat on the break. Arsenal last met the Hammers on matchweek two in Dagenham, running out 5-1 winners.
Predicted Lineups
Arsenal (4-2-3-1): van Domselaar; Fox, Wubben-Moy, Codina, McCabe; Little, Pelova; Mead, Mariona, Blackstenius; Russo
West Ham (4-2-3-1): Hollinrake; Brosnan, Lee, Smith, Shimizu; Rigoglioso, Cooke; Martinez, Payne, Asseyi; Snow ice
