Fulham
Peter Moller will make his debut for Fulham in the absence of suspended duo Louis Saha and Luis Boa Morte.
The Danish international striker signed earlier in the week on loan from Spanish club Oviedo with a view to a permanent £750,000 move to Craven Cottage.
Moller is expected to form a new look strike force with former German international Karl-Heinz Riedle in the continued absence of Barry Hayles.

Boss Trevor Francis has a strong squad to choose from and could welcome back long-term injury victim Jon McCarthy.
McCarthy has recovered from a broken leg and came through a midweek training match suffering no adverse reaction.
"I've already forgotten about the leg to be honest," he said, after completing a 90-minute work-out against Arsenal. "The Arsenal lads didn't know about my injury and it was just what I needed.
"That was the final hurdle before involvement with the first-team squad - I've been fit for a long time now, I just needed a match."
