Fulham enter the tie as clear favourites and Manager Marco Silva is expected to rotate his squad and rest several key players.
One of those changes is likely to come in goal; expect Bernd Leno to be replaced with Benjamin Lecomte.
Tom Cairney and Sasa Lukic remain unavailable, but Fulham otherwise have a near-fully-fit squad available to them.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Lecomte; Castagne, Diop, Cuenca, Sessegnon; Reed, King; Bobb, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Kusi-Asare

Divin Mubama, Robert Bozenik, Sam Gallagher, Lewis Baker, Junior Tchamadeu and Gavin Bazunu also remain sidelined through injury.
Stoke City possible starting lineup:
Simkin; Talovierov, Phillips, Wilmot, Cresswell; Seko, Pearson; Manhoef, Rigo, Thomas; Cisse
