West Ham look set to welcome back Lucas Neill (ankle), Freddie Ljungberg and Mark Noble (both hamstring) for the visit of relegated Derby.Winger Julien Faubert has also returned to training after a calf problem and could feature.

However, centre-half Anton Ferdinand has been added to the long list of absentees following a hamstring injury suffered during last weekend's defeat at Bolton, so John Pantsil or Jonathan Spector are set to stand in.

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