Cardiff City could hand a debut to new signing Magnus Wolff Eikrem, the Norway international signed from Dutch side Heerenveen in midweek. Craig Bellamy may figure after two months out with knee and ankle trouble.
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce says he will make a "calculated" decision on whether to recall Andy Carroll after an eight-month absence with a foot injury.
Carroll, who last played in May, could join defender James Tomkins in returning to the Hammers side.
In my early commentary career I recall describing a 6-0 home defeat for Burnley against Manchester City, which came three days after a 5-0 loss for the Clarets at the hands of Gillingham.
Their manager Stan Ternent, who had only been appointed at the beginning of that campaign, seemed on borrowed time but the Turf Moor board kept faith despite the calamitous results. Ternent turned it around and lasted five more years. And so, as a very different City once again thumped a team famously claret in midweek, with West Ham conceding their 11th goal in just a few days, Burnley's nightmare week sprang to mind.
This time, Sam Allardyce is the manager in the spotlight and, like Ternent, has received the board's backing.
In truth, there's probably no greater contrast than between the two opposing managers who will come face to face at the Cardiff City Stadium this weekend.
In the home dug out, a relative novice in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, presiding over his first ever Premier League game, having begun his new job with a stunning FA Cup win at Newcastle.The ovation likely to be afforded to the former Manchester United striker as he makes his home bow will only serve to highlight the uneasiness which will greet Allardyce.That said, their teams are similar, not least in terms of their stuttering form: The Bluebirds have one win in seven, the Hammers are without a league win since November.Though the hosts reside above their opponents, a West Ham win would lift them above Cardiff on goal difference.
On the back of their phenomenal victory at St James' Park, the momentum is sure to be with Cardiff and, bearing in mind West Ham's continuing lengthy list of absentees, it could be another distinctly uncomfortable afternoon for Allardyce.
For the record, Ternent completed his miserable week with a third straight defeat, albeit only 1-0 this time!
