Fulham
Fulham boss Jean Tigana will be without all four recognised strikers for their Loftus Road showdown with crisis club Leeds.
Facundo Sava sustained a calf problem in Wednesday's 2-1 Worthington Cup defeat at Wigan and Tigana discovered on Friday he will be out for up to a fortnight.
Steve Marlet is suspended, while Louis Saha is sidelined until January after hamstring surgery and Barry Hayles is out for three weeks with a neck injury.
Luis Boa Morte, who is just back from a thigh problem, is likely to partner Latvian Andrejs Stolcers, who has made only rare appearances in two years at Fulham.
Centre-back Zat Knight, who was forced off at half-time at Wigan with a hamstring injury, has aggravated a nerve and is a major doubt.
Alain Goma serves a one-match suspension but Rufus Brevett returns from his single-game ban for being dismissed against Birmingham.
Fulham (from):
Edwin van der Sar(G), Maik Taylor(G),
Steve Finnan (D), Abdeslam Ouaddou(D/C),
Andy Melville(D/C), Rufus Brevett(D), Pierre Wome(D),
Sean Davis(M/D), Martin Djetou(D/M),
Sylvain Legwinski(M), Lee Clark(M), Bjarne Goldbaek(M),
Junichi Inamoto(M/A), Steed Malbranque(M/A),
Luis Boa Morte (A), Andrejs Stolcers(A).
