Gabbidon and Sheringham missing for Hammers

West Ham boss Alan Pardew has no fresh injury concerns following the midweek win at Everton, but will still be without Danny Gabbidon (knee) and Teddy Sheringham (calf) for tomorrow’s Barclays Premiership clash with Newcastle.

Welsh international James Collins is set to make his second Premiership start alongside Anton Ferdinand at the centre of West Ham’s defence.

Pardew must decide whether to stick with Carl Fletcher in midfield, or bring back 18-year-old Mark Noble.

Captain Nigel Reo-Coker has returned to training after suffering a fractured ankle, but will not yet be considered.

Provisional squad: Carroll, Hislop, Repka, Ferdinand, Konchesky, Benayoun, Fletcher, Noble, Dailly, Newton, Mullins, Etherington, Sheringham, Harewood, Zamora, Bellion, Aliadiere, Bywater.
