Tomas Included

Tomas Repka has won his battle to be included in the squad to face Manchester City at the weekend after sustaining a knee injury at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

There are no fresh injury worries from the week's hard training, and Glenn Roeder says:

"We are positive, the players are positive, and I hope the fans are positive to us on Saturday - we want them to be.

"If we play like we can play, and get the fans on our side, they can be a big factor at Upton Park.

"When our fans are driving us on it does give the lads a lift and I hope they can do that on Saturday, but it also our responsibility to give them something to cheer - and hopefully we will.

"We have a little more strength in depth than last year and that makes it all the more frustrating that we have only picked up one point after five games."

SQUAD: James, van der Gouw, Schemmel, Pearce, Repka, Dailly, Winterburn, Breen, Cole, Sinclair, Cisse, Carrick, Minto, Garcia, Lomas, Kanoute, Defoe, Camara, Di Canio.
