Hunt came through 45 minutes of Tuesday night's reserve clash against Wigan with no ill effects. It was his first action since being sidelined with a foot injury at his previous club, Hull, in February.
But Hunt, signed by Wolves in the summer for £3million, is confident he can play some part against the Hammers at Molineux. He said: "The foot felt good and I was happy to get 45 minutes. To play 45 minutes was always the plan although I probably could have played for longer. I found myself making the runs I normally make and I'm going to get sharper and better as the weeks go on.
"But the real stuff is on Saturday at 3pm. That pressure is what I really enjoy and hopefully I can have a taste of it this weekend then at Chelsea the following week."
Hunt admitted: "It would be great to play against West Ham. It's a big game for us after four defeats in a row. To play 15-20 minutes on Saturday might not be beyond me. If I'm needed to start the game then I'm sure I could, but it's down to the manager."
