TEAM NEWS
Peterborough's Grant McCann is a doubt after he came off with calf trouble during Saturday's defeat to Barnsley.
Should he miss out, it would end a run of five matches where manager Darren Ferguson named the same side.
West Ham pair Julien Faubert (groin) and Ricardo Vaz Te (hamstring) are both nearing first-team contention, but Tuesday's match could come too soon.
Centre-half Abdoulaye Faye could return after he missed Saturday's draw with Burnley with a slight knock.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• West Ham's fourth match against Peterborough and only their second visit to London Road was originally a victim of the weather on 11 February. They won the first trip there 3-1 in September 1992 at second league level.
• The Hammers maintained their 100% record over Posh with a 1-0 victory at Upton Park in September, when an 11th minute penalty from Mark Noble settled the issue.
Peterborough United
• 18th placed Posh are chasing a third successive home win, having lost four of the last six Championship outings, home and away.
• The London Road club have only kept three clean sheets in this league campaign, but also boast the second best home attack in the division. Their 37 goals is only five fewer than table toppers Southampton have netted at St Mary's.
• Peterborough are trying to compete with an average gate of 8,637. It is the lowest in the division; West Ham have the highest (30,500).
West Ham United
• West Ham are four points adrift of the automatic promotion places with this game in hand on second placed Reading, after a 10-match unbeaten run, and a club record equalling five successive league draws.
• Sam Allardyce sends out a side on his 300th day in charge, still boasting the best away record in the division. The Hammers are hunting an 11th victory on the road.
• They have lost just seven Championship games; only Southampton have been beaten as infrequently.
