New signing Josh Maja is expected to be in Fulham's squad for the visit of West Ham.
The 22-year-old forward joined the Cottagers on loan from Bordeaux earlier this week and could make his debut against the Hammers, although he is most likely to come off the bench.
Fulham have no new injury concerns, although with the frequency of matches, some players will be assessed on Friday ahead of the game. Defender Terence Kongolo and midfielder Tom Cairney remain sidelined through injury.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Areola; Aina, Andersen, Adarabioyo; Tete, Loftus-Cheek, Reed, Anguissa, Robinson; Maja, Lookman

West Ham will still be without Arthur Masuaku, while back-up goalkeeper Darren Randolph is doubtful.
Manchester United loanee Jesse Lingard was handed a start against Aston Villa and rewarded Moyes with a brace - only the second player to score twice on their Premier League debut for West Ham, after Trevor Sinclair in January 1998.
Indeed, Lingard has now scored in each of his last two Premier League appearances - although those were separated by 192 days - and another goal on Saturday would see him net three times in a row for the first time in his career.
Lingard still has some way to go to catch Tomas Soucek, who has scored more Premier League goals than any other midfielder this season if you exclude penalties.
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Fabianski; Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Lingard, Fornals; Antonio
