Nicky Maynard and Ricardo Vaz Te are in line to make their West Ham debuts when derby rivals Millwall head to Upton Park.
Striker Maynard and winger Vaz Te joined the Hammers on Tuesday and will be in the squad but boss Sam Allardyce has hinted his third deadline-day arrival, young midfielder Ravel Morrison, may have to bide his time.
American defender George John could also be involved for the first time since joining from FC Dallas earlier this month, especially after the leaders shipped five goals in a shock defeat at Ipswich on Tuesday night.
Midfielder Papa Bouba Diop missed out at Portman Road with a thigh problem and will be checked over, but Allardyce has no new injury worries.
Andy Keogh goes straight into the Millwall squad. The Republic of Ireland striker moved to The Den on transfer deadline day from Wolves, signing a two-and-a-half year deal, and could partner top scorer Darius Henderson in attack.
The Lions could also be boosted by the return of skipper Paul Robinson, who has missed the last three matches with a thigh problem, while fellow defender Jordan Stewart has resumed training after a groin injury.
Winger Hamer Bouazza is still missing with groin trouble and back-up goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall has an ankle injury.
Tamika Mkandawire is recovering from a knee operation and fellow midfielder Therry Racon remains on the sidelines with an ankle injury.
