FORM GUIDE
The Reds have lost only one of our last 10 matches in all competitions, the 3-1 reverse to Liverpool in mid-March.
The 2-0 victory over City in the FA Cup ensured a third successive clean sheet and morale must be high after reaching Wembley again, for a third season on the trot.
West Ham sit seventh in the WSL table, at the time of writing, and, after an entertaining 4-3 reverse to Arsenal, they are in decent form.
A 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur was sandwiched between creditable draws with Manchester City and league leaders Chelsea.
Rehanne Skinner's side have yet to play this month and should be well rested for this encounter.
