Fulham are set to have a clean bill of health heading into this weekend’s contest. Alex Iwobi is one player who has been nursing a knock, but the attacker has trained this week and should be fit to start.
However, his place could come under threat by club-record signing Kevin, who made a notable impression as a substitute last time out and is in contention to make his full Premier League debut on either flank at the expense of either Iwobi or Harry Wilson.
Rodrigo Muniz has failed to score in his last three starts for Fulham, so Silva might be tempted to recall Raul Jimenez to lead the line, while Antonee Robinson - who watched on as an unused substitute last weekend - will continue to compete with Ryan Sessegnon for a start at left-back.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, King, Kevin; Jimenez

As for Brentford, Jordan Henderson, Ethan Pinnock and Igor Thiago all missed the EFL Cup win over Aston Villa, but Andrews has confirmed that they were merely rested and the trio have since been part of a training group on Tuesday.
All three players are available for selection this weekend along with Kristoffer Ajer, who has avoided injury after he was taken off against Villa as a precaution due to a knee collision.
Gustavo Nunes and Paris Maghoma remain sidelined, but they have both made progress in their recovery from hamstring injuries and are now back on the grass, while Mikkel Damsgaard has recovered from illness and is likely to start in midfield, potentially alongside Henderson and Mathias Jensen.
Brentford possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Jensen, Henderson, Damsgaard; Ouattara, Thiago, Schade
