Bellamy has been sidelined since October with an abdominal problem and, having just missed out on the midweek clash against former club Liverpool, he is now set to feature again.

West Ham go into the game buoyed by their 1-0 win over Liverpool but Alan Curbishley is unhappy that some fans cheered when Luis Boa Morte was substituted in midweek.

"I was so disappointed to hear that," said the manager. "Fans should get behind their team's players. Everyone is trying."

Striker Bobby Zamora, who has been out since September with a knee injury, is expected to play for the reserves on Monday.

Midfielder Julien Faubert, who is also easing his way back following a long lay-off, is also expected to return in that game following a slight calf strain.
