Hammers unchanged

West Ham boss Alan Pardew is likely to field an unchanged team for the home clash with Sheffield United.

Pardew has no new injury worries for the visit of Neil Warnock’s team, which marks the first game for the Hammers since Icelander Eggert Magnusson’s takeover this week.

After losing their last two matches, Pardew’s men will be desperate to celebrate the takeover with their third successive victory at Upton Park.

Provisional squad: Green, Spector, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Konchesky, Benayoun, Mullins, Reo-Coker, Etherington, Sheringham, Harewood, Cole, Zamora, Tevez, McCartney, Mascherano, Kiraly, Bowyer.
