West Ham United Vs. Blackburn Rovers: Lineups

West Ham United are once again without Matthew Upson or Scot Parker, and considering how bad they are with those two things don't look too great for them against Blackburn Rovers at Upton Park today. Fortunately for the Hammers, however, Blackburn are also quite bad, and they're also injured enough to be fielding a Gael Givet as a centre back. With a relegation place very much at stake here, both teams will be trying very hard for the three points. Do either of them have the stuff to win today?

West Ham United (4-3-3): Robert Green; Wayne Bridge, Danny Gabiddon, Manuel da Costa, Lars Jacobson; Luis Boa Morta, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Johnathan Spector; Demba Ba, Carlton Cole, Freddie Sears.

Substitutes: Robbie Keane, Frederic Piquionne, Ruud Bffin, Radoslav Kovac, James Tomkins, Jack Collison, Zavon Hines.

Blackburn Rovers (4-2-3-1): Paul Robinson; Martin Olssen, Gael Givet, Chris Samba, Brett Emerton; Jermain Jones, Steven N'Zoni; Junior Hoillet, Morten Gamst Pederson, Mirame Diouf; Jason Roberts.

Substitutes: Keith Andres, Mark Bunn, Roque Santa Cruz, Benjani, Rubin Rochina, Grant Hanley, Mauro Formica.
