Nottingham Forest defender Scott McKenna sustained an injury in training and is a major fitness doubt.
West Ham manager David Moyes says new signings Maxwel Cornet and Gianluca Scamacca are ready to start.
Michail Antonio has overcome the minor issue he suffered against Manchester City last week but Lukasz Fabianski, who went off injured in that match, remains a doubt.
CHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTION
This is not going to be easy for West Ham. It's Forest's first home game back in the Premier League so they will have a real go at them.
The Hammers still have injury problems at the back too, but I just think the nous of their manager David Moyes will see them edge it.
