We’ve won three of our last four opening day weekends in the Barclays Women’s Super League as we prepare to welcome West Ham United to Brisbane Road in the season opener on Sunday (12pm) - tickets remain available.
Sunday’s London derby will be our seventh opening day fixture in England’s top flight having earned promotion in 2019. Our first clash at this level was a narrow 1-0 defeat to league champions at the time, Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge.
We then followed that by going unbeaten in our next three season opener fixtures, drawing 1-1 to West Ham United before beating Birmingham City (1-0) and Leicester City (2-1).
Last term, we began the WSL campaign with a thumping 4-0 win at Brisbane Road to Crystal Palace, maintaining our unbeaten run record at home on the opening day – drawing once and winning twice.
