West Ham United v Chelsea: commentary from Sky Sports and live feed via talkSPORT on Saturday

The English Womens Super League returns this weekend with a pair of contests that will see West Ham United and Chester taking on their rival squads. The matches are scheduled for Saturday, 4 October 2026, with kickoff times set for 14:00 UK time. Fans looking to follow the action closely can do so through Sky Sports, whose presenters and commentators will carry the bulk of the commentary, while talkSPORT offers a live reporter's feed throughout.

The commentary line-up

The main commentary comes from Gay Taphouse, who has built up a strong reputation as a watchable and honest commentator over recent seasons. Working alongside him is Courtney Sweetman-Kirk, whose blend of technical knowledge and straightforward advice makes his predictions a useful reference point for players weighing their options.

The pair are supported by a group of specialists who will be watching the matches and feeding in observations. Rachel Corsair has long been a fixture at these contests, and her ability to read a match quickly makes her a valuable presence. Laura Coombs rounds out the punditry, bringing a focus on the practical details that matter when squads are being chosen.

Where to watch

Sky Sports will provide the headline commentary, with the company's Main Event HD, Main Event UHD and Premier League HD feeds carrying the main commentary throughout. The presenters and pundits will guide viewers through the key moments, from squad selection to the final results.

The Sky Sports highlights feed will also carry the commentary, offering a condensed but still useful view of the matches for those who prefer to catch the highlights rather than follow every detail.

The talkSPORT feed

For a different perspective, talkSPORT will bring its own live coverage, with Ian Abrahams acting as reporter throughout. His feed offers a complementary view to the Sky Sports commentary, giving players another chance to see how the matches play out and to compare notes as the results come in.

The matches themselves

The English Womens Super League brings together two squads that will be competing against their rivals this weekend. West Ham United and Chester each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the commentary from the Sky Sports team should help players understand where the action is likely to go.

As ever, the key is to follow the commentary closely and use the insights offered by the pundits to inform your own decisions. With both Sky Sports and talkSPORT providing coverage, players have plenty of opportunities to see how the matches develop and to make informed choices about their squads.

Whether you are a player looking to refine your approach or simply interested in the competition, this weekend's matches offer a chance to see the English Womens Super League in action. The commentary from Gay Taphouse and his colleagues should provide a useful guide to what to expect.
