Team News: Alex Song returns for West Ham United

Song returns for West Ham

Alex Song has been restored to the West Ham United starting XI for tonight's FA Cup third-round replay with Everton at Upton Park.

Song was not involved in the Hammers' 1-1 draw with Swansea City in the Premier League on Saturday, but is one of two changes to that side made by manager Sam Allardyce.

Matt Jarvis is also drafted into the team, with Kevin Nolan and Winston Reid the men to make way.

Everton, meanwhile, have opted for an unchanged XI having held champions Manchester City to a draw at the weekend.

That means that Joel Robles continues in goal for the Toffees, while Romelu Lukaku, who scored the late equaliser in the original tie last week, leads the line.

West Ham: Adrian; Jenkinson, Collins, Tomkins, Cresswell; Jarvis, Noble, Song, Downing; Carroll, Valencia Subs: Jaaskelainen, Nolan, Vaz Te, O'Brien, Amalfitano, Cole, Burke

Everton: Joel; Coleman, Jagielka, Stones, Baines; Barry, Besic, Barkley, Naismith, McGeady; Lukaku Subs: Griffiths, Oviedo, Kone, Mirallas, Garbutt, Alcaraz, McAleny
