Hammers welcome back Sheringham

West Ham will welcome striker Teddy Sheringham back into the starting line-up against Arsenal tomorrow after the 39-year-old was rested.

Sheringham was used as a substitute in last week’s win at Fulham and omitted altogether for the midweek Carling Cup victory at Sheffield Wednesday.

Striker Jeremie Aliadiere, who is on loan from Arsenal, misses out however because of a groin problem which may require surgery.

Provisional squad: Carroll, Repka, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Konchesky, Mullins, Reo-Coker, Benayoun, Etherington, Sheringham, Harewood, Zamora, Dailly, Newton, Bellion, Hislop, Collins, Cohen, Ward, Stokes, Noble, Ephraim.
