With Aleksandar Mitrovic in the midst of an eight-game ban, Daniel James will continue in attack for Fulham, while Manor Solomon is also expected to retain his place in the starting XI.
Layvin Kurzawa remains sidelined with a knee injury, while Harry Wilson and Willian are doubts so Bobby Decordova-Reid will likely be restored to the starting lineup.
Joao Palhinha will continue to anchor the midfield alongside Harrison Reed, while Andreas Pereira will look to enhance his tally of five goals and six assists this season.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; James, Pereira, Solomon; Decordova-Reid

Nathan Ake is Manchester City's only injury absentee, meaning that Pep Guardiola has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal.
Having chalked up 49 goals in 43 games across all competitions this term, Erling Braut Haaland will continue to spearhead the attack, with Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez expected to occupy the wings.
Guardiola could revert back to the 3-2-4-1 formation that has operated soundly in recent matches, with John Stones joining Rodri in midfield ahead of Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji and Aymeric Laporte.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Laporte; Stones, Rodri; Mahrez, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish; Haaland
