Fulham boss Chris Coleman has no fresh injury concerns and new signings Simon Davies and Alexei Smertin may well be included in the squad, which is likely to be similar to the group involved in the 3-0 FA Cup win over Stoke at the weekend.
Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock will make a late decision on whether to include Alan and Stephen Quinn in his squad for Tuesday's Premiership clash with Fulham.
The Irish duo have been trying to cope with the tragic death of their sister's boyfriend, who was shot dead last week. The game comes too soon for Luton Shelton but fellow new signing Ahmed Fathi could make his debut.
Keith Gillespie is banned following his sending-off at Reading last time out, captain Chris Morgan completes a suspension of his own, while defenders Mikele Leigertwood and Matthew Kilgallon (both ankle) are also sidelined. Fellow defender Claude Davis is touch and go after suffering a knock against Reading.
