Fulham's Kenny Tete (ankle), Harrison Reed (knee) and Kevin (foot) all remain sidelined as they continue to recover from injury, but Harrison Reed is back in contention.
Rodrigo Muniz has started the last two games up front, but Silva will consider recalling Raul Jimenez this weekend, while Harry Wilson has recorded a team-high 10 goals and six assists in the Premier League this season and is expected to continue on the right flank.
Samuel Chukwueze will continue to push Oscar Bobb for a start on the opposite wing, while the rest of Silva’s lineup could remain intact, meaning Josh King gets the nod in the number 10 role over Emile Smith Rowe.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Iwobi; Wilson, King, Bobb; Jimenez

Brentford will have to cope without Jordan Henderson (knock), Vitaly Janelt (ankle) and Rico Henry (thigh) due top injury, and they are joined in the treatment room by long-term absentees Fabio Carvalho, Antoni Milambo and Josh Dasilva (all knee).
Saturday’s game may also come too soon for Aaron Hickey (thigh), while Mikkel Damsgaard - who scored against Fulham earlier this season - will be assessed after withdrawing at half time against Everton through illness.
Bees talisman Igor Thiago, who has scored 21 PL goals and is just one goal behind Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race, is set to be joined in attack by Kevin Schade and Dango Ouattara, while former Fulham loanee Reiss Nelson may also be handed a start if Damsgaard is not deemed fit to feature.
Brentford possible starting lineup:
Kayode, Van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Yarmolyuk, Jensen; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago
