Squad sheets: West Ham United v Burnley

Avram Grant dare not say so publicly but the FA Cup is surely an unwanted distraction for the Premier League's second-bottom side. The West Ham manager may leave Scott Parker, Matthew Upson, Wayne Bridge and Demba Ba on the bench in the hope of protecting them for the challenge of avoiding relegation. Eddie Howe brings Burnley to east London hoping to continue their Cup adventure despite his side lying only five points from a Championship play-off position: "We'd love to continue the run and go as far as we can. We'll look to enjoy it. I don't think we've got an awful lot to lose."
