West Ham v Newcastle

West Ham v Newcastle April 25 2008

West Ham striker Dean Ashton has been in full training this week after missing last week's win over Derby.

Hammers boss Alan Curbishley has a similar squad to choose from for the Barclays Premier League clash against Newcastle.

Anton Ferdinand was ruled out last week with a hamstring complaint.

Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan will look to field the same side yet again for the trip to Upton Park.

Keegan has only minor knocks to concern him as he prepares for a game in which he hopes to extend the club's unbeaten run to seven games.

Emre (calf), Stephen Carr (hamstring), Claudio Cacapa (groin), Peter Ramage (knee) and James Milner (foot) are all nearing returns, while Shay Given (groin) is unlikely to play again this season as he recovers from surgery.

Squads:

West Ham: Green, Pantsil, McCartney, Tomkins, Neill, Faubert, Solano, Noble, Parker, Ljungberg, Boa Morte, Sears, Cole, Zamora, Upson, Ferdinand, Collison, Mullins, Ashton, Walker, Spector.

Newcastle: Harper, Forster, Beye, Enrique, Taylor, Faye, Edgar, Butt, N'Zogbia, Duff, Barton, Geremi, Owen, Smith, Martins, Viduka, Carroll.
