Midfield boost for Hammers
West Ham United, 15:14, October 23, 2009 ,
West Ham star Scott Parker will return from a one-game ban for Saturday's clash with Arsenal at Upton Park.
The former Chelsea midfielder missed the defeat at Stoke last time out but is back to take his place in the engine room.
Striker Guillermo Franco is pushing for a start after playing for the reserves but Dean Ashton and Luis Boa Morte are out.
Forward Ashton continues to be hampered by an ankle problem while winger Boa Morte will miss most of the season because of a pre-season knee injury.
The Hammers have not won a game since the opening day of the Premier League campaign.
