Fulham are only dealing with one fitness question mark, although it is a significant one as Muniz was forced off just past the hour mark against Tottenham.
Silva confirmed that Muniz had felt tightness in his hamstring, but his withdrawal was more precautionary than anything else, and he is expected to be fine to take his place in the Cottagers' XI at Bramall Lane.
As a result, Silva ought to field an untouched team from their exceptional derby win over Tottenham, as Lukic fends off Tom Cairney and Harrison Reed to partner Joao Palhinha on account of scoring his first Premier League goal last time out.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson; Palhinha, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Muniz

Following the four-goal thriller with Bournemouth, Wilder expressed hope that both Cameron Archer (calf) and Anis Ben Slimane (thigh) would be back for the visit of Fulham - the latter was not called up to the Tunisia squad as he focuses on his rehabilitation.
However, Chris Basham (ankle), John Egan (ankle), Max Lowe (ankle), Rhys Norrington-Davies (thigh), Rhian Brewster (thigh) and Daniel Jebbison (illness) are all out of contention, and Wilder has only name-checked Egan for a possible return before the season is over.
Having only suffered a late capitulation in the final 20 minutes of the clash with Bournemouth, Wilder should see no reason to make significant starting lineup alterations, although Vinicius Souza could force his way back in over Tom Davies.
