West Ham vs Man City WSL: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction
By Ali Rampling
West Ham and Manchester City return to WSL action for the first time since mid-December on Sunday as they go head to head at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.
Both teams were in a strong run of form prior to the month-long hiatus, West Ham winning three from four in all competitions and rising up to fifth in the table, and Manchester City unbeaten in their last seven WSL matches.
Just one place and four points separate the two sides in the league - although the Hammers have played a game more. Who will come out on top on Sunday?

West Ham vs Man City score prediction
West Ham have enjoyed a strong start to life under Paul Konchesky, winning five of their first 10 WSL matches to sit an impressive fifth. They played out a really tightly fought encounter with City in this fixture last season, but were ultimately beaten 2-0.
The Hammers face a City side in a rich vein of form, not tasting defeat since September and playing some really slick, attacking football. Gareth Taylor's side won't have it all their own way, but they should come out on top.
