Hammers duo in contention
West Ham could have defenders Danny Gabbidon and Tomas Repka back from injury for the visit of Chelsea.
However, striker Bobby Zamora (hamstring) is a doubt, while veteran Teddy Sheringham (calf) is still not fully recovered.
Midfielder Yossi Benayoun, fit again following a groin problem, came off the bench in Saturday’s defeat at Charlton, and may be in contention to start.
Provisional squad: Carroll, Dailly, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Collins, Konchesky, Bellion, Reo-Coker, Mullins, Fletcher, Etherington, Harewood, Zamora, Aliadiere, Newton, Clarke, Hislop, Stokes, Noble, Repka.
