Tomas Soucek and Maxwell Cornet are both injured. Edson Alvarez appears set to sign for Real Sociedad. Pablo was taken off at half-time against the Clarets, so he may miss out with his calf injury. New signings Arne Engels and Joel Piroe are available.
Charlton team news
Charlton does not have many injury concerns apart from their young striker, Micah Mbick, who is out with a knee injury. The Addicks will likely be unchanged from the side that beat Derby County. However, Miles Leaburn, after impressing off the bench, could replace Matthew Godden up front.

West Ham vs. Charlton prediction
West Ham would have been disappointed to throw away their two-goal lead away against Burnley. However, with home advantage, you would expect the Hammers to defeat Charlton. This is despite the Addicks going into this game on the back of defeating Derby County 2-1. It is a London derby, so anything could happen. However, I am going to go for West Ham to win 2-0.
