Hammers forced to change

West Ham manager Alan Pardew looks set to change a winning side for the Carling Cup trip to Bolton tomorrow.

Anton Ferdinand (foot) is doubtful, so Wales defender James Collins, who had been struggling with a shoulder problem, or Elliott Ward could come into contention.

With several other first-team players – including defenders Paul Konchesky and midfielder Matthew Etherington – reporting knocks following the victory over Middlesbrough on Sunday, Pardew could give some more of his fringe players a start.

Shaka Hislop is set to continue in goal with Roy Carroll (knee) out for around two weeks. Teddy Sheringham could return to the attack in place of Bobby Zamora after coming of the bench to score against Boro at Upton Park, but Jeremie Aliadiere (hernia) is not yet match fit.

Provisional squad: Hislop, Repka, Gabbidon, Ferdinand, Konchesky, Benayoun, Mullins, Reo-Coker, Etherington, Sheringham, Harewood, Zamora, Newton, Dailly, Bellion, Collins, Ward, Clarke, Bywater.
