Fulham coach Marco Silva is likely to shake up his Fulham XI, potentially handing recalls to the likes of Harrison Reed and Neeskens Kebano.
Nathaniel Chalobah is also in contention for a first start, but fellow new arrival Domingos Quina may drop down to the substitutes' bench.
While Harry Wilson could return to the squad, Fabio Carvalho may be given more time to recover from an injury sustained before the international break.
Tom Cairney (knee) and Terrence Kongolo (knee) remain longer-term absentees for the Whites, with Kenny Tete (hamstring) joining them in the physio’s room after his injury last month.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Gazzaniga; Odoi, Ream, Adarabioyo, Robinson; Reed, Seri; Decordova-Reid, Kebano, Cavaleiro; Mitrovic

After his 22-minute cameo against Derby, Troy Deeney is in line to make his first Birmingham start on Wednesday night.
Jutkiewicz could drop out of the starting lineup in what will likely be the only change.
Former Fulham keeper Neil Etheridge was hit really hard by Covid-19 in preseason, returning from the preseason training camp in Scotland and ending up in hospital. He has played once, in the Carabao Cup loss to Fulham, but has not yet been involved in a Championship squad.
Birmingham City possible starting lineup:
Sarkic; Roberts, Dean, Pedersen; Colin, Woods, Sunjic, Bela; Chong, Deeney, Hogan
