West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has been unable to welcome back any of his injured players ahead of his side's Barclays Premier League match against Man City.

The champions visit Upton Park knowing the Hammers will be missing Guy Demel (hernia) and Matthew Taylor (calf), with both hoping to be back in contention within two weeks.

Ricardo Vaz Te (shoulder) and Jack Collison (knee) are West Ham's long-term absentees.

Provisional Squad: Jaaskelainen, Spiegel, O'Brien, Reid, Collins, Tomkins, McCartney, Noble, Diame, Nolan, Jarvis, Benayoun, Diarra, O'Neil, Maiga, Cole, Carroll, Spence.
