    Sam Kerr is one of the best in the world, she's unstoppable.

    She struggled to connect with runs in the first half but when the opportunity came at Wembley she took it.

    Kerr is the one who consistently steps up.

    They know how to grind out results. Emma Hayes has put together a relentless team.

    West Ham are winless in all nine of their WSL games against Chelsea (D1 L8), facing no side more often without winning in the competition (also nine versus Arsenal).

    The Hammers are also on a nine-game winless run in the league since a 2-0 away win at Spurs in December. They have scored just four goals while conceding 19 across those winless games.

    West Ham can be a stubborn team to play against.

    It could be a tight game but Chelsea should get it done late on.

    West Ham v Chelsea (20:15 BST)

    Chelsea’s nine unbeaten WSL matches against West Ham (W8 D1) is the most they have faced an opponent in the competition without losing.

    The Blues have lost just one of their last 24 WSL London derbies (W19 D4), going down 3-2 away at Arsenal in September 2021.

    Chance for Arsenal substitute Freya Godfrey but the teenager can't get to Giovana Queiroz's wicked cross.

    She wasn't sure whether to go with her head or boot and ends up missing the ball when any sort of contact would have delivered her her first Arsenal goal.

    Women's FA Cup final: Chelsea 1-0 Man Utd highlights

    Chelsea are playing West Ham off the back of winning the Women's FA Cup for the third time in a row, beating Manchester United 1-0 in Sunday's final at Wembley.

    Fatigue could be a worry tonight with Emma Hayes saying mental tiredness was of more concern than any physical toll.

    "It would take a lot more out of you if you lose," Hayes added. "When you win everything feels a little lighter and I said at the weekend our brains were tired more than anything else.

    "People always assume tiredness is to do with the legs. It's not even about getting our legs fresh for Wednesday but we need to get our brains right, getting our sleeping patterns right because it's hard to sleep off the back of games like that on Sunday.

    "We do have a sleep specialist, Shona, who we have worked with for years. She helps devise some of the sleep strategies for us."
