Fulham Coach Scott Parker has no new injury concerns as his Fulham side look for their first victory of the Premier League season since their 2-1 win at Leicester in November.
Terence Kongolo returned to training on Monday but is still having modified sessions.
Captain Tom Cairney has made some improvement with an ongoing knee problem, but Parker said the club are taking it week by week and have not said when the midfielder could feature again.
Parker is unlikely to make many changes to the team which started the 2-2 draw at West Bromwich Albion.
Harrison Reed could be brought back into the side as a replacement for Mario Lemina, but Ivan Cavaleiro may have to make do with a spot on the substitutes' bench.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Areola; Aina, Andersen, Adarabioyo; Decordova-Reid, Reed, Zambo-Anguissa, Robinson; Loftus-Cheek, Lookman; Mitrovic

Leicester's bad luck with injuries is showing little signs of improving, with Timothy Castagne and Wesley Fofana added to the list.
Both were forced off with hamstring issues during the home defeat by Leeds on Sunday and are doubts as the Foxes prepare to travel to London.
Ricardo Pereira is in line to make his first Premier League start of the season after Timothy Castagne's injury.
Wilfred Ndidi and Vardy are unlikely to be risked, meaning that Nampalys Mendy and Iheanacho could be given opportunities in the team.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Pereira, Fofana, Evans, Justin; Tielemans, Mendy; Albrighton, Maddison, Barnes; Iheanacho
