Fulham manager Marco Silva has confirmed that Harry Wilson is facing around 10 weeks on the sidelined after being told he needs surgery on a fractured foot, while Reiss Nelson (hamstring) and Kenny Tete (knee) both remain in the treatment room.

The absence of Wilson could see Adama Traore deputise on the right flank, unless Emile Smith Rowe is moved out wide to accommodate captain Tom Cairney in an advanced central role.

Both Smith Rowe and Raul Jimenez were on target in the aforementioned 3-1 win over Newcastle earlier this season, and the latter is once again expected to lead the line, with Rodrigo Muniz providing cover on the substitutes' bench.

Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

Newcastle will be without Harvey Barnes (muscle), Callum Wilson (hamstring) and Jamaal Lascelles (ACL) due to injury, while Miguel Almiron has completed a permanent return to Atlanta United after six years at St James' Park.

After missing 11 games with a knee injury, Nick Pope watched on as an unused substitute in Newcastle's win at Southampton, and Howe will now ponder whether to recall his first-choice shot-stopper or continue with Martin Dubravka between the sticks.

Howe may also weigh up whether to recall Sven Botman in defence at the expense of either Fabian Schar or Dan Burn, while the rest of the Magpies' lineup in midfield and attack is set to remain intact.

Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Dubravka; Livramento, Burn, Schar, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Gordon
