West Ham are confident Julien Faubert will be fit to face Premier League leaders Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.Faubert should shake off a slight hamstring problem to feature but Freddie Ljungberg (cracked rib) has been added to the long list of injuries.

Defender Anton Ferdinand (hamstring) has returned to light training, but is not expected to feature against the Red Devils - and neither is fellow centre-half Matthew Upson (calf).

Kick-off is at 12.45pm.

Hammers (from): Green, Pantsil, Tomkins, Neill, McCartney, Faubert, Parker, Noble, Boa Morte, Zamora, Ashton, Walker, Mullins, Cole, Solano, Sears, Spector, Collison.
