The West Ham United women's squad is ready for the Women's Super League season, with the Irons looking to avoid the drop once more.
Another relegation scrap could be on the cards at West Ham, after all.But for a vital winner from Viviane Asseyi away to Bristol City, the Hammers may have finished bottom.
However, experienced manager Rehanne Skinner has had a full summer to reshape the squad.They lost a top goalkeeper in Mackenzie Arnold, but Poland international Kinga Szemik is a strong replacement. Germany youth international Shekiera Martinez will add quality at the top of the pitch.
Preseason has been tough but West Ham have brought in eight new faces, as Skinner puts her stamp on the team. With experience in the dugout, there's plenty of hope for the season.
And not just in the WSL. West Ham enter the FA Cup in the fourth round as a top-tier club, with the first fixture coming in January.
The League Cup comes before that. The Irons have been drawn in a group with with Portsmouth, London City Lionesses and Southampton.
