While many Premier League teams are dealing with a number of injury issues, Fulham are one of the few sides who currently have a clean bill of health heading into this weekend.
Silva will consider handing summer signing Sander Berge his full Premier League debut for the Cottagers, with the Norwegian pushing to start in midfield alongside Andreas Pereira and Emile Smith Rowe.
Fellow new recruit Joachim Andersen could make his first top-flight appearances for Fulham since re-joining the club from Crystal Palace, replacing either Issa Diop or Calvin Bassey at centre-back, while Traore will hope to retain his starting spot on the right flank ahead of Harry Wilson.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Muniz

As for West Ham, summer signing Niclas Fullkrug is doubtful after picked up a knock, related to his Achilles tendon and calf muscle, while on international duty, while Aaron Cresswell remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola is in line for a return to the starting lineup after being replaced at half time in the defeat to Man City last time out with a back problem.
Deadline-day arrival Carlos Soler is in contention to make his debut for the Hammers, but the midfielder will likely begin as a substitute, with Lopetegui set to stick with Guido Rodriguez, Edson Alvarez and Lucas Paqueta in the middle of the pitch.
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Alvarez, Rodriguez; Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio
