West Ham Women XI vs Everton confirmed as Laia Codina returns

Laia Codina returns to the starting XI as West Ham United Women face Everton at Victoria Road.

Rita Guarino has made one change from the side that beat London City Lionesses 2-1, with the Spain international replacing Eva Nyström in defence.

Codina’s return had been expected after Guarino confirmed she was available again in our latest West Ham Women team news.

Katie Zelem captains the side alongside Saki Kumagai in midfield.

Kelly Gago also keeps her place up front and faces the club she left for West Ham this summer. We looked at the extra motivation facing Gago against Everton ahead of the game.
