Senior Stars Start For Reserves

KEVIN Keen has named a star-studded line-up for the final Reserve game of the season against Watford at Upton Park this evening, kick-off 7.00pm.

Most noteable is the return of Scottish internationals Christian Dailly and Don Hutchison to action. Christian has not played a competitive game since injuring his knee in the Hammers first home game of the season against Reading. After recovering from an operation to repair the damage he has since struggled to regain fitness following thigh and calf problems.

Don has faced his own lenghty fitness battle of late. He will appear for the first time since a long-standing knee problem flared up after the home game against Brighton back in October last year.

Alongside Dailly at the back, Malky Mackay returns after more than a month out with a calf injury, with Ryan Andrews at right-back and Rufus Brevett on the left.

In midfield, Don is joined by Welsh international Carl Fletcher, Luke Chadwick and the Reserve team's most consistent player this season, Chris Cohen, who has made 21 appearances for Kevin Keen's side and been made captain in recent weeks.

Up front, another Welsh international Gavin Williams is likely to be paired with Ukraine star Sergei Rebrov.

The team to face Watford is as follows:

1. Stephen Bywater (GK)
2. Ryan Andrews
3. Rufus Brevett
4. Christian Dailly
5. Malky Mackay
6. Carl Fletcher
7. Luke Chadwick
8. Don Hutchison
9. Sergei Rebrov
10. Gavin Williams
11. Chris Cohen

12. Tony Stokes
13. Dusan Kuciak (GK)
14. Moses Ashikodi
15. Liam White
16. David Cowley
17. Danny Bunce

West Ham United v Watford at Upton Park, kick-off 7.00pm.
