Danny Ings is expected to make just his second Premier League start of the campaign on Tuesday evening, when West Ham United continue their top-flight season at home to an in-form Fulham outfit.
The Hammers will be without the services of Emerson, Jean-Clair Todibo, Crysencio Summerville, Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen and Niclas Fullkrug due to injury problems, demonstrating their issues in the final third.
As a result, there is expected to be a start at centre-forward Ings, who has one goal and one assist in 10 Premier League appearances this season, with his only strike of the campaign coming against Fulham in the reverse game at Craven Cottage, which finished 1-1.
Ings is likely to be supported by Mohamed Kudus, Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta, with the latter on the scoresheet in West Ham's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup on Friday night.
Edson Alvarez is currently being linked with a move to Monaco, but the Mexican should start in the middle of midfield, with the Hammers not believed to be planning to let him leave this month.
Vladimir Coufal and Carlos Soler are also in line for recalls due to the fitness issues which occurred against Villa, with the latter potentially operating in a midfield two alongside Alvarez.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, meanwhile, may switch across to the left-back spot for the visit of Fulham.
West Ham United possible starting lineup: Fabianski; Coufal, Mavropanos, Kilman, Wan-Bissaka; Alvarez, Soler; Kudus, Soucek, Paqueta; Ings
