Winston Reid's return from suspension is one of three changes made by West Ham boss Sam Allardyce for the trip to West Brom.
James Collins and Matt Jarvis drop to bench, while Mark Noble is ruled out through injury, as Mauro Zarate and captain Kevin Nolan return to the starting line-up.
TEAMS IN FULL
West Brom Starting XI: Foster, Wisdom, Baird, Lescott, Gardner, Anichebe, Brunt, Dorrans, Berahino, Dawson, Sessegnon
Substitutes: Myhill, Hoyte, Gamboa, Mulumbu, McAuley, Varela, Samaras
West Ham Starting XI: Adrian, Reid, Cresswell, Nolan, Tomkins, Kouyate, Carroll, Zarate, Downing, Jenkinson, Amalfitano
Substitutes: Jaaskelainen, Jarvis, O'Brien, Collins, Demel, Cole, Valencia
Though striker Diafra Sakho may have missed out on tonight's match, Allardyce is hopeful the striker will be fit to return to the West Ham side for the weekend clash with Swansea City.
"I cannot medically go into anything from a legal point of view other than the injury occurred not by playing or training," said Allardyce.
"I am not legally qualified to make a comment further than he did not get injured while he was training or playing, so I can't expand on that.
"But obviously from an internal point of view, the club will deal with it in terms of how it happened, why it happened and what we are going to do about it.
"He won't be too long, but it is one big disappointment for him and us, but more for him because of the level he's been playing at and the goals he has been scoring.
"Hopefully he will be over it very quickly and I hope, because it is early days yet, that he will be available for Swansea."
