Fulham will be without midfielders Mario Lemina and Harrison Reed for the trip across London
Defender Kenny Tete may also be missing after going off injured in Monday's Premier League defeat to Aston Villa.
Fulham Coach Scott Parker will rest key forward Aleksandar Mitrovic, meaning that Aboubakar Kamara will almost certainly line up down the middle of Fulham's attack.
The Cottagers are also likely to switch to a back four, with Maxime Le Marchand and Antonee Robinson in contention to feature in defence.
The tie comes less than two months after Fulham beat Brentford in the Championship play-off final.

Brentford winger Said Benrahma is in line to make his first start of the season in Thursday's fourth-round Carabao Cup against Fulham, after being linked with moves away from the club.
Brentford are not able to call upon Rico Henry and Mathias Jensen, who both sustained injuries during the game with Millwall.
However, goalkeeper David Raya, an alleged former target for Arsenal, is in line for his second appearance of the season.
Charlie Goode, Mads Bech Sorensen, Shandon Baptiste and Marcus Forss should also be handed recalls for this fixture.
