West Ham bowed out of the EFL Cup with a 3-2 home defeat to Fulham, but they are top of the Championship and hoping for a more favourable London derby against mid-table Millwall at the Den on Saturday.
Life in the Championship got off to an uncertain start for the Hammers, who took two points from their opening three fixtures.
But Nuno Espirito Santo's side turned the corner with a 4-2 home win over Wolves, and they seem to be getting better with every passing week.
The Irons faced a supposedly tricky test at home to Wrexham last Friday, but made light work of the North Wales outfit in a stunning 6-0 success.
The Hammers suffered a setback in their midweek EFL Cup fixture, as a much-changed side succumbed to Premier League opposition, but full focus will be on the contest with Millwall, the first meeting between the sides since 2012.
Millwall were play-off semi-finalists last season, but they are struggling to live up to those standards.
The Lions have been severely hampered by an injury crisis, but are striving to be as competitive as possible and gave a good account of themselves in Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough.
Team news
Romain Esse (ankle) has joined Mathis Servais, Tristan Crama, Ryan Leonard, Massimo Luongo, Alfie Doughty, Casper De Norre, Mihailo Ivanovic, Josh Coburn and Lukas Jensen in Millwall's crowded treatment room.
Joel Veltman (muscle strain) is set to miss out for West Ham and Tomas Soucek (ankle) faces a late assessment.

Prediction
West Ham are the Championship's top scorers, and their offensive quality could be key to defeating Millwall in a highly charged encounter.
Both sides will give their all to secure bragging rights, but Millwall's tank could be close to empty after they mustered a huge effort in the 2-2 midweek draw at Middlesbrough.
Alex Neil's injury-hit side have taken just four points from their last five league matches and they face a really tough task against one of the division's heavyweights.
Jarrod Bowen contributed a goal and an assist as the Hammers cruised to a 6-0 win at home over Wrexham, and he can get on the scoresheet in a fairly comfortable away victory.
Score Prediction: Millwall 0-3 West Ham
