TEAM NEWS
Elliott Ward is fit to face his former club and is expected to replace Arjan De Zeeuw, but Dele Adebola is doubtful after suffering a tight hamstring and may miss out.
For West Ham, the story is very different. Definitely out is Craig Bellamy who suffered a recurrence of an abdominal injury during the first half of West Ham's 0-0 draw at Portsmouth on Saturday. Dean Ashton, Bobby Zamora, Scott Parker, Julien Fauberdt and Freddie Ljungberg are all out.

ON THE GAME
Elliott Ward told the CT:"I was obviously pleased when West Ham were pulled out of the hat but a bit disappointed that it wasn't at Upton Park because I haven't been there since I left. "I think it would have been good to take our fans there and put them under pressure at home. "But we are at home and we haven't got anything to lose.

"I think it would have been good to take our fans there and put them under pressure at home. "But we are at home and we haven't got anything to lose.
"They have got to come here but if we apply ourselves right then hopefully we can get a good result. "I still know a few of the lads down there and we will see what kind of team they put out, but whatever it is we will be up for it.
"I think they rested a few last time but you never know. "Everyone's priority is the league but if we were to get to the quarter finals it would be great.
"We will just have to see what the Hammers throw at us."
