Squad sheets: West Ham United v Sunderland

Relegated to the Championship and having seen their end-of-season dinner descend into a brawl, West Ham will hope to at least salvage some dignity from this fixture. Kevin Keen is in charge of the team following Avram Grant's sacking amid the anger and anguish at the DW Stadium last Sunday and the former Hammers midfielder has already expressed a desire to keep the job on a long-term basis. He could not have asked for a better audition, with Sunderland arriving in east London bereft of playing staff and morale.
