Robins sweating on pair
Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill has doubts over Aaron Wilbraham and Kieran Agard ahead of their FA Cup fourth-round clash against West Ham.
Striker Wilbraham is struggling with a hip problem and has not featured for the Robins since December, while Agard's last appearance came on Boxing Day.
Defender James Tavernier is cup-tied after playing for parent club Wigan in their 1-0 loss to Bolton in the previous round.
However, fellow loanees George Saville and Matt Smith can both feature.
West Ham defender James Collins is expected to miss out with a back problem.
Collins had to be substituted in the second half of West Ham's 3-0 win against Hull last weekend while Diafra Sakho also has a back injury and remains sidelined.
Midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate is on international duty with Senegal at the African Nations Cup.
Manager Sam Allardyce insists his players can create history by going all the way in the cup this season.
The Hammers, who are three-time winners of the prestigious tournament, have not lifted the trophy since 1980 and have reached the final just once since the start of the Premier League era.
"If it could bring success it would recreate modern history, particularly as we move into a new stadium," Allardyce said.
"I'm sure a lot of West Ham supporters have fantastically fond memories of what we did at Wembley when we got promoted.
"If we can get to a cup final, it's generally for most fans a once in a lifetime occasion."
Allardyce received heavy criticism last year for fielding a youthful side in the third round, who were thrashed 5-0 by Nottingham Forest.
The Hammers have no relegation concerns this season, however, and Allardyce insists his players can give everything to secure a place at Wembley.
"We haven't picked up as many injuries as we might have expected, we've got a full squad ready and raring to get stuck into the FA Cup," Allardyce said.
"I've got no concerns that it will affect the league form at all.
"The FA Cup falls on a Saturday, not midweek, so we have plenty of time between this game and the next game to recover and keep our very good league form up.
"We want to be very, very competitive in this competition. We know the glories of it.
"You have that ultimate goal of being at Wembley and that's one of the most wonderful things you can ever experience in your career."
