West Ham to Rest Players in Cup

The Telegraph say that West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola is set to rest several senior players, including Rob Green, in the FA Cup tie against Arsenal.

When you consider the first team players lost to Zola through injury this week's fifth round tie may resemble a West Ham reserves vs Arsenal Reserves fixture.

Sky are reporting that Jordan Spence has been recalled early by West Ham from his loan spell at Scunthorpe. Spence has not featured for Scunthorpe since October but Sky say that he could feature against Arsenal.
