West Ham complete their three-match Swedish tour tonight with a match against Superettan side Friska Viljor.
Viljor, who are based in the coastal town of Ornskoldvik, are finding life tough in their first season back in the second tier of Swedish football and are rooted to the foot of the table.
And with frontmen Marlon Harewood and Bobby Zamora in predatory mood, they could be in for another tough evening tonight.
Zamora, who has hit five games in two tour games to date, looks set to answer some of his critics, and assistant manager Peter Grant reckons the summer preparation will produce a new man in the Hammers squad.
"I am delighted with Bobby; he has scored the goals, although he missed a penalty in the first game, and there is no question about his abilities," said the Scot.
"He just has to understand that he is playing for the first team week in, week out, near enough, whereas at Tottenham he was a bit part player."
