Neill and Parker Back for Saturday

Alan Curbishley has confirmed that Neill and Parker have both recovered from their respective injuries,

"I will decide on Friday whether to play Kieron but he is definitely fit and available, along with Lucas Neill and Scott Parker," he said.

Kieron Dyer is also available to make his debut for West Ham. Birmingham will be without Franck Queudrue (ankle) but Olivier Kapo and central defender Johan Djourou, who both picked up knocks on Wednesday, will play.

Birmingham, like West Ham, are still looking for their first win of the season.
