SWANSEA City will continue their policy of squad rotation at West Ham today — but Gerhard Tremmel continues in goal.
Michael Laudrup revealed he will make a handful of changes to the side that drew with Sunderland in midweek for Swansea's trip to Upton Park.
But Tremmel will be one player to keep his place as Michel Vorm is still struggling with injury.
The Dutch goalkeeper has not travelled to London because of fluid on his knee.
Swansea cruised to a 3-0 victory against the Hammers at the Liberty in August.
But Laudrup is anticipating a more difficult match in the East End.
"The difference is that this time we are playing away, that makes a big difference," said the Swansea boss.
"We have to be prepared for two kinds of offensive strategy from their side.
"It's different if they play (Carlton) Cole or (Marouane) Chamakh or if Andy Carroll plays.
"They are a team who can play two ways. They can play very direct or they can play on the ground, a possession, passing game. They have four or five players who are very good at doing that." West Ham's run of six games without a win has set nerves jangling at Upton Park.
The Hammers remain seven points above the relegation zone, but are in need of a victory to settle the ship.
They have only been beaten three times at home in the league this season, so Laudrup is braced for a tough test.
Swansea travel flying high in eighth having only lost one of their last 12 matches in all competitions.
"Every game is different and West Ham are a team who are doing very well at home," said Laudrup.
"If you let them play, they have players that can hurt you. (Mark) Noble, (Kevin) Nolan and now Joe Cole as well.
"Up front they have power with Carroll, Carlton Cole and Chamakh as well.
"They haven't had a good run lately so it's a very important game for them. They have to come back.
"We have to try to extend our good moment.
"We will have a very competitive team again, even if we change two or three like we have done for the last eight or nine weeks."
