West Ham will be without England pair Carlton Cole and
Matthew Upson for their home match against Manchester United at

with a knee ligament injury sustained in the Hammers' 5-3 win
against Burnley last weekend, while centre-back Upson has not fully
recovered from a hamstring strain.
Switzerland midfielder Valon Behrami is missing with a
knee injury while a muscle strain sidelines Luis Jimenez.
Alessandro Diamanti is back from a hip complaint and is
in contention.
Squad: Green, Kurucz, Faubert, Da
Costa, Gabbidon, Daprela, Tomkins, Ilunga, Spector, Kovac, Noble,
Parker, Collison, Payne, Diamanti, Dyer, Hines, Stanislas,

Trafford a fortnight ago but has now recovered and is expected to
replace Tomasz Kuszczak.
Jonny Evans (calf) and John O'Shea (dead leg) are still
sidelined, along with long-term casualties Rio Ferdinand (back) and
Owen Hargreaves (knee).
Squad: Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak,
Neville, O'Shea, Brown, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Rafael, Valencia,
Anderson, Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Nani, Berbatov,
