Fulham boss Parker is expected to make several alterations, however, and a change between the sticks is a possibility given Marek Rodak's display against Barnsley.
That could see Marcus Bettinelli return to the team, while Denis Odoi is an option at right-back in place of Steven Sessegnon.
Harry Arter and Bobby Decordova-Reid are also in line to start, potentially at the expense of Kevin McDonald and Anthony Knockaert.
Alfie Mawson (knee), Terence Kongolo (foot) and Maxime Le Marchand (back) remain on the sidelines.
Harrison Reed could also miss out again with a calf problem.
Striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has shown no ill-effects from his recent ankle injury having scored three goals in his last four matches.

Despite the frustrating draw with Huddersfield last time out, Derby County Coach Phillip Cocu is unlikely to make many changes to his Derby starting lineup.
Jayden Bogle could be an option at right-back, replacing Andre Wisdom, although Max Lowe is also pushing for a recall to the side.
He has lost midfielder Duane Holmes to injury. Holmes limped off during the first half of the 1-1 draw against Huddersfield last weekend with a leg injury and faces a few weeks on the sidelines.
Tom Huddlestone is still out with a calf injury but Andre Wisdom should be available after hamstring trouble. George Evans will continue his recovery from a calf problem with the Rams' U23s.
