Pardew plans Hammers changes

West Ham boss Alan Pardew is set to make changes for tomorrow’s Barclays Premiership trip to the Reebok Stadium.

Marlon Harewood is unlikely to feature after his wife gave birth to a son during the week while captain Nigel Reo-Coker has been off sick for most of the week.

Elliot Ward is available for selection after returning from a loan spell with Plymouth and could be involved.

Goalkeeper Roy Carroll is back in training after undergoing a back operation and is thought to be a month away from making his first-team return.

Provisional squad: Hislop, Scaloni, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Konchesky, Benayoun, Dailly, Reo-Coker, Mullins, Etherington, Ashton, Sheringham, Harewood, Zamora, Katan, Bywater, Collins, Clarke, Newton, Fletcher.
