Grant to make changes

West Ham manager Avram Grant is set to reshuffle his team for tomorrow’s FA Cup third-round tie.

Youngsters Zavon Hines, who came off the bench in Wednesday’s 5-0 defeat at Newcastle, and Jordan Spence could both feature against Barnsley at Upton Park.

Mark Noble is fit again after a hip injury but on-loan defender Tal Ben Haim has returned to Portsmouth.

Thomas Hitzlsperger has returned to training after a long-term thigh problem and he could be back in action by mid-February.

Provisional squad: Green, Tomkins, Upson, Gabbidon, Jacobsen, Barrera, Stanislas, Kovac, Parker, Behrami, Spector, Boa Morte, Cole, Obinna, Piquionne, Sears, Reid, Faubert, Spence, Hines, Boffin.
