Squad sheets: West Ham United v Newcastle United

West Ham United are unbeaten in four Premier League games, their best since run April 2009 vindicating Avram Grant's early season assertion that once winter arrived so would his team's form. Newcastle United side last won on 18 September, and come to east London with a troubled Andy Carroll, whose week has so far featured an assault charge and the torching of his £150,000 Range Rover. Matthew Upson could face a late fitness test on a neck injury while Newcastle could be shorthanded in defence.
