Town boss Paul Jewell has made two changes from the side which lost 3-1 at Leeds 10 days ago. Suspended keeper Alex McCarthy is replaced by Arran Lee-Barrett, while Michael Chopra takes over from Jason Scotland up front.

The Blues would appear to have plenty of options in terms of formation with Lee Martin perhaps taking up his recent role behind the lone striker, in this case Chopra, or into a three-man central midfield in 4-5-1.

Alternatively, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas or Daryl Murphy could join the former Cardiff man in a conventional 4-4-2.

West Ham make two changes with the injured Papa Bouba Diop and Sam Baldock out, but with the latter still in the 16. Matt Taylor and Henri Lansbury take their places.

Former Blues loanee Mark Noble starts for the Hammers. A full match preview can be found here.

Town: Lee-Barrett, Edwards, Sonko, Smith, Cresswell, Martin, Hyam, Drury, Emmanuel-Thomas, Murphy, Chopra. Subs: Wright, Delaney, Bullard, Leadbitter, Scotland.

West Ham: Green, Faubert, McCartney, Tomkins, Reid, Noble, Collison, Nolan, Lansbury, Taylor, Cole. Subs: Baldock, Faye, Nouble, Hall, O'Neil.
