There are no fresh injury concerns for Marco Silva to deal with, and so he is unlikely to tinker too much with the side that secured him a win against Southampton on Saturday.
Silva said that everyone came through the Southampton victory unscathed, and that Layvin Kurzawa and Manor Solomon could be in contention to make the squad in the near future.
Despite missing a penalty in that encounter, Aleksandar Mitrovic should spearhead the Fulham attack, with the Serbian looking to add to his 10 Premier League goals so far this season.
Andreas Pereira is likely to play just behind the striker, with Willian and Bobby Reid making up the supporting cast on either side.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Reid, Pereira, Willian; Mitrovic

Patson Daka went off in the first half against Liverpool after clutching his hamstring, so Jamie Vardy may instead lead the line for Leicester.
Ricardo Pereira, James Justin and Ryan Bertrand are all out with injuries at full-back, so Timothy Castagne and Luke Thomas are set to keep their places.
James Maddison is still suffering with a knee issue, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored in the last match, so he is poised to play just behind Vardy.
Leicester City
possible starting lineup:
Ward; Castagne, Amartey, Faes, Thomas; Soumare, Ndidi; Barnes, Perez, Dewsbury-Hall; Vardy
