On his return to his former club, Mitrovic could be brought back into the Fulham XI as a replacement for Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
While Tom Cairney is also in contention for a recall, Parker may opt to retain as much of the team from the last two games as possible.
Bobby Decordova-Reid has a minor thigh muscle injury and could miss out
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Areola; Aina, Andersen, Adarabioyo; Decordova-Reid, Lemina, Zambo Anguissa, Robinson; Cavaleiro, Lookman; Mitrovic
