Preview: West Ham v Hull City

Savio's pace will be useful in helping the Irons continue their unbeaten run as they look to challenge for a UEFA Cup spot this season.

Zola has a full squad to choose from, apart from long-term absentees Dean Ashton and Danny Gabbidon, while Kieron Dyer is ruled out with a calf injury picked up last week.

Lucas Neill and Matthew Upson look set to be recalled after being rested from the side that won 2-0 at Hartlepool in last Saturday's FA Cup tie.

Mark Noble should be lining up against the club for whom he played five games on loan in 2006.

Hull, who have struggled in recent weeks in their first season in the Premier League, could hand a debut to new £5million signing Jimmy Bullard, who was once a youth team player at West Ham.

The two sides met earlier in the season at the KC Stadium where Hull recorded a 1-0 win.

Hull's last win at the Boleyn Ground was a 2-1 victory in the old Second Division back January 1990 but they were hammered 7-1 in October that year, their last visit to east London.

West Ham (from): Green, Lastuvka, Stech, Neill, Ilunga, Spector, Lopez, Tomkins, Collins, Upson, Faubert, Behrami, Parker, Noble, Boa Morte, Cole, Sears, Tristan, Di Michele, Savio.
