SCOTT Parker returns for West Ham's trip to Everton this afternoon after shrugging off an ankle injury.

Freddie Piquionne is also back in the starting line-up after missing last week's defeat to Arsenal with toothache, and he leads the line on his own.

Mark Noble partners Parker in the middle of midfield, while there is also a place for Luis Boia Morte.

Wayne Bridge starts his second game for the Hammers, while Zavon Hines and Jonathan Spector complete the midfield.

Team: Green, Faubert, Tomkins, Upson, Bridge, Hines, Spector, Noble, Parker, Boa Morte, Piquionne. Subs: Boffin, Reid, Gabbidon, McCarthy, Sears, Barrera, Nouble.
