New signings Benni McCarthy, Mido and Ilan are in contention to make their debuts while Carlton Cole and Guillermo Franco are also fit.
England striker Cole could make his first start in over two months and Scott Parker may also return to the starting line-up.
All three new boys are a little short of match fitness but McCarthy could get an extended run if Cole is not deemed ready to start.
Herita Ilunga and Daniel Gabbidon are struggling with hamstring problems while midfielder Kieron Dyer is out with a similar injury.
Forward Zavon Hines is still doubtful with a knee injury.
