Fulham are boosted by the return of Joachim Andersen after the centre-back sat out the Chelsea game through suspension making Tom Cairney the sole absentee.
However, the assumption is that Arbeloa will hand starts to the majority - if not all - of the players who started the previous fixture on the substitutes' bench.
That would see Kenny Tete, Ryan Sessegnon, Luc De Fougerolles, new signing Shea Charles, Harrison Reed, Emile Smith Rowe, Kevin and Rodrigo Muniz all provided with opportunities.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Lecomte; Tete, Andersen, De Fougerolles, Sessegnon; Charles, Reed; Kevin, Smith Rowe, Palacios; Muniz

With games against Wigan Athletic and Burton Albion to follow in less than a week, Jackson is expected to rotate his AFC Wimbledon XI.
Goalkeeper Nathan Bishop should start between the sticks, while Andy Yiadom, Steven Sessegnon, Callum Maycock, Aron Sasu and Antwoine Hackford are in line for chances.
New signing - former Luton Town attacker Harry Cornick - is expected to be named among the replacements at best.
AFC Wimbledon possible starting lineup:
Bishop; Sessegnon, Ogundere, Johnson; Yiadom, Smith, Maycock, Nelson, Seddon; Hackford, Sasu
