Avram Grant will give fitness tests to several players before deciding on West Ham's line-up for Tuesday's Barclays Premier League game against Everton.

Ten first-team regulars were not able to start or were suspended for the 3-1 win at Fulham, with Valon Behrami, Victor Obinna, Pablo Barrera, Mark Noble, Kieron Dyer and Benni McCarthy all playing no part at Craven Cottage.

Luis Boa Morte returns from a ban but Jack Collison, Manual Da Costa and Thomas Hitzlsperger are all definitely out.

Provisional squad: Green, Ben Haim, Tomkins, Upson, Gabbidon, Barrera, Stanislas, Kovac, Ilunga, Parker, Behrami, Dyer, McCarthy, Nouble, Spector, Boa Morte, Cole, Obinna, Piquionne, Sears, Reid, Faubert, Boffin.
