off to Upton Park

It's been a tough start to the Gianfranco Zola era at West Ham but in-time, presuming the clubs financial predicament isn't as bad as rumoured, they'll be one of the more tactically exciting clubs to watch. However that time hasn't arrived and the Hammers have stumbled over the last five matches with four losses. He is confident of their future stating:

"Obviously we need to improve and we are are working on that but I am confident we will soon be talking about West Ham in a different way."

Everton puts it two-match winning streak on the line without Marouane Fellaini, who is suspended for the match and Steven Pienaar and Ayegbeni Yakubu are both doubtful. The Hammers will miss Carlton Cole too suspension and Mark Noble and Valon Behrami to injuries.
