Whisper it quietly, but there's a vague possibility that Kieron Dyer might appear for West Ham this weekend.

The midfielder's injury record has restricted him to a handful of matches since joining from Newcastle in 2007, but he may be spotted at Upton Park after completing 75 minutes for the reserve team.

West Ham's win against Burnley gives them a two-point cushion over the sides in the drop zone, but they'll have to be on top form to scoop another three points against Alex Ferguson's title-chasing side.

Carlton Cole won't be aiding the Hammers in this charge, as he's out with a knee injury, while Valon Behrami will also not feature and Matthew Upson is a doubt.

Edwin van der Sar could be back between the sticks for the Red Devils, but Jonny Evans and John O'Shea look unlikely to appear. Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves are still out.

Kick-off is 3pm on Saturday.
