Squad sheets: West Bromwich Albion v West Ham United

Yet another six-pointer for West Ham, on the bottom once more after losing at home to Birmingham last Sunday. Albion, on the other hand, have yet to occupy a place in the last three and briefly lay fourth back in October, since when a plunge down the table has cost Roberto Di Matteo his job as manager. The caretaker, Michael Appleton, will hope for a repetition of last month's performance which saw off Blackpool while Avram Grant awaits fitness tests on several of his players plus the usual questions about his future should West Ham lose again.
