Fulham will be without one of their own midfield fulcrums until the New Year, as Harrison Reed underwent knee surgery just over a week ago and is expected to remain sidelined until early January.
Silva has also confirmed that Joachim Andersen will be out for "some games" with a calf strain, while Jorge Cuenca is missing too, but Sander Berge is seemingly OK
Issa Diop will deputise for Andersen in the heart of defence here, while Bernd Leno, Reiss Nelson, Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe can all expect hostile welcomes thanks to their Arsenal connections.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

Postecoglou delivered both good and bad news on toe victim Cristian Romero on Friday, confirming that the Argentine was on the cusp of coming back from his problem but is unlikely to be available for selection on Sunday.
.
The Argentine should therefore be one of seven absentees for Spurs alongside Mikey Moore (illness), Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Richarlison (hamstring), Wilson Odobert (hamstring) and the suspended Rodrigo Bentancur, serving the second of his seven-game domestic punishment.
.
Bentancur completed 78 minutes of the Roma draw in midweek but should now relinquish his place in the engine room to Yves Bissouma, while Johnson's spot in the side is set to come under threat by the returning James Maddison.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son
