Premiership: Kanoute could be back for Hammers

West Ham’s French striker Frederic Kanoute is fit again after missing four matches with a hamstring injury.

Manager Glenn Roeder’s only dilemma is whether to bring back Kanoute for tomorrow's home match against Arsenal or continue with England Under-21 star Jermain Defoe, who scored the all-important goal in last week’s 1-0 victory over champions Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Roeder, who has had Defoe partnering Paolo di Canio up front, insists he will not be tempted to play all three strikers.

‘‘We’ve played 4-4-2 all season and I will not upset our organisation just to fit them all in,’’ he said.

Team (from): James, Schemmel, Repka, Dailly, Winterburn, Hutchison, Sinclair, Cole, Carrick, di Canio, Defoe, Kanoute, Hislop, Minto, Potts, Courtois, Camara.
