No new injury problems for Hammers

West Ham have no fresh injury worries for the visit of Stoke in the Barclays Premier League.

Demba Ba is expected to lead the attack having netted three goals in as many games, while midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger is a welcome addition in the squad again following his injury lay-off.

Junior Stanislas (hernia) is doubtful while Jack Collison (knee), Kieron Dyer and striker Robbie Keane (both thigh) remain out although all are closing on a return.

Team (from): Green, Jacobsen, Tomkins, Upson, Bridge, O’Neil, Parker, Noble, Hitzlsperger, Piquionne, Spector, Ba, Cole, Boffin, Reid, Da Costa, Boa Morte, Hines.
