The on loan Tottenham midfielder impressed when coming on as a substitute at Millwall and again in Saturday's 1-0 win over Peterborough and could replace Matt Taylor, who has a calf problem.
Midfielder Papa Bouba Diop could also feature for West Ham, who have lost just once in the Championship. Boss Allardyce said: "A three-game week is obviously an opportunity to look at other players."
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett says his side's struggles up front are causing problems in defence too.
A 3-0 defeat at Derby means Millwall go into tomorrow's match at Watford without a goal in seven games.
He said: "We are not scoring at one end and that is putting pressure on ourselves at the other."
Watford'S lack of a cutting edge saw them lose 1-0 to Nottingham Forest. Manager Sean Dyche said: "We were not clinical enough."
Crystal Palace right-back Nathaniel Clyne could make his first appearance of the season tomorrow for the visit to Brighton. Clyne broke his foot in pre-season and manager Dougie Freedman said: "Nathaniel is in contention to be in the squad. He has not lost a huge amount of fitness."
Charlton's Chris Powell is relishing his team's testing back-to-back away games. They go to MK Dons tomorrow and then face Shefield United on Saturday. The manager said: "They'll be tough games but we'll be ready."
Leyton Orient scored twice in the last five minutes to draw 2-2 at Huddersfield and manager Russell Slade said: "We deserved something out of the game."
Brentford midfielder Jonathan Douglas hailed manager Uwe Rosler after the 2-0 win at Oldham. Douglas said: "He is lively and a perfectionist."
AFC Wimbledon forward Christian Jolley cracked a 30-yard winner in a 2-1 victory at Bradford. Boss Terry Brown said: "It was a great goal."
Dagenham winger Damian Scannell felt hard done-by after the 2-1 loss at Northampton. He said: "We deserved at least a draw."
Barnet boss Lawrie Sanchez failed to shake up his team as they went down 4-0 at Swindon despite four changes from the XI who lost to Oxford.
