West Ham Defenders Out

According to Vital Football West Ham seem to be lacking a right back for the Man City game. Collins aggravated a groin strain in midweek while Mears has a calf strain. Both injuries expected to be short term.

Jonathan Spector is the most obvious choice to cover but Hammers boss Alan Pardew revealed he will not start due to a lack of match fitness. Mullins or Dailly could be asked to cover the position or Pardew could experiment with three at the back again.
