Reporting no fresh injury concerns from their trip to the North East, Fulham will welcome Antonee Robinson back from a one-game ban as the American left-back prepares to displace Layvin Kurzawa.
Neeskens Kebano remains out for the long term with his Achilles injury, while Shane Duffy will also need a once-over after suffering from an illness, but Silva will be loath to make any changes to his team after an eight-day rest.
Issa Diop was given the nod over Tosin Adarabioyo at Newcastle and can feel confident of holding his place after a competent showing, while Carlos Vinicius will accept a spot on the bench against his former club as Mitrovic - who has scored in all four of his Premier League London derbies this term - aims to right the wrongs of last weekend.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed; Decordova-Reid, Pereira, Willian; Mitrovic

Tottenham also have a near-empty treatment room for Monday's game, with their only guaranteed absentee being long-term tendon victim Lucas Moura, while Bryan Gil is a doubt after picking up a knock.
Conte has admitted that he will need to assess Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski, who showed signs of fatigue on Thursday after recently returning from injury, and a few changes should be afoot for the Lilywhites.
Ivan Perisic had a night to forget at the Etihad and should make way for Ryan Sessegnon, while Richarlison is a candidate to deputise for the under-performing Son Heung-min.

Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Richarlison
