Fulham will be without Antonee Robinson, who remains sidelined with a knee injury, while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable due to a hamstring problem.
Samuel Chukwueze, who provided an assist in their win against Tottenham, is expected to retain his place on the wing, while Alex Iwobi should continue in midfield.
Calvin Bassey and Joachim Andersen will likely form the central defensive pairing, with Bernd Leno in goal and Raul Jimenez leading the line.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, King, Chukwueze; Jimenez

Manchester City remain without Mateo Kovacic, who underwent ankle surgery. The Croatian midfielder is yet to start a match for City this season, with his only minutes coming from the bench against Everton and Villarreal.
Rodri’s return has also been delayed, as the Spaniard continues to struggle for full fitness - a growing concern for Guardiola given his importance.
Defensively, City may opt for Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol at centre-back, while academy talent Nico O’Reilly and midfielder Matheus Nunes could deputise in the full-back roles.
Erling Haaland will lead the attack, supported by Foden - fresh from his brace at the weekend, while Jeremy Doku is expected to operate from the left flank.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Nunes, Gvardiol, Dias, O'Reilly; Silva, Gonzalez, Cherki; Doku, Haaland, Foden
