Parker and Dyer miss out for Hammers

Fri, 30 Oct 14:22:42 2009

West Ham will be without Scott Parker when they travel to Sunderland for the Barclays Premier League clash.

The midfielder was sent off towards the end of last Sunday's 2-2 draw with Arsenal and serves a one-match ban, so Czech midfielder Radoslav Kovac comes in.

Kieron Dyer has suffered another setback and faces three weeks out with a hamstring problem picked up in training.

Italian striker Alessandro Diamanti is pushing to start following his game-turning performance as a substitute against the Gunners.

  1. To start with Kovac in an away game is still a good­ option. Although a little bit conservative, but his­ defensive power is better than Collison. 433 is not a­ good strategy in an away game as Sunderland has two­ superb striker Bent and Jones. Win the midfield first­ and it's easier to master the game.
