Team news -- sportinglife.com Jon Spector named in West Ham's squad for the trip Merseyside to take on Liverpool -- a rematch of last year's thrilling F.A. Cup final. Whether he starts or makes the bench, we'll have to wait and see. Got it live over here tonight, 9:30 p.m. Melbourne time (4 a.m. PT/7 a.m. ET), live on Fox Sports 2 (Setanta has it in the USA).
No place even on the bench for Spector. Liverpool vs West Ham Liverpool: Reina, Finnan, Hyypia, Agger, Aurelio, Pennant, Alonso, Gerrard, Luis Garcia, Bellamy, Crouch Subs: Dudek, Kromkamp, Gonzalez, Kuyt, Zenden West Ham: Carroll, Paintsil, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Konchesky, Bowyer, Mullins, Reo-Coker, Benayoun, Zamora, Harewood Subs: Walker, Mears, Sheringham, Cole, Collins Referee: A Wiley (Staffordshire)
I really do believe them when they say he won't be fit until next month. It is, however, a very good sign that he's travelling with the team anyway. It sends a strong signal that he's in their plans.
