Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz (thigh) and Ryan Sessegnon (thigh) will miss the match due to injury problems, while The Cottagers will also be missing Calvin Bassey, Samuel Chukwueze and Alex Iwobi due to their involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations.
There are not expected to be any real surprises in the Fulham XI on Wednesday, with head coach Silva also set to name a strong side in the quarter-final affair.
Harry Wilson is the team's leading goalscorer this season with five, and the 28-year-old will feature in a forward area, while Raul Jimenez should lead the line, with the Mexican bidding to add to the three goals that he has scored this term.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Cuenca, Castagne; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, King, Kevin; Jimenez
