    • Sasa Lukic is a doubt for Fulham after he came off late on against Nottingham Forest last weekend, with Harrison Reed potentially deputising in the middle of the park.
    • Otherwise, Marco Silva will unlikely make any wholesale changes for Saturday's welcome of Crystal Palace.
    • Reiss Nelson, Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson all remain sidelined for the home side.
    Crystal Palace
    • Crystal Palace's injury issues have eased considerably in recent weeks, though Cheick Doucoure, Joel Ward and Chadi Riad all miss out on Saturday.
    • Ismaila Sarr, Eberechi Eze and Eddie Nketiah all recovered from respective ailments to feature in some capacity in last weekend's 2-1 loss to Everton, with Eze likely to return to the starting XI here.
    • Adam Wharton is in line for his first league start since October having replaced Jefferson Lerma at the break against the Toffees
  • Prediction

    Fulham made it three competitive wins on the spin with a third successive 2-1 victory as they beat high-flying Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage last weekend. The Whites have lost only one of their last eight in west London, but in turn; have won just three times in that spell.

    After a solid run of form, Crystal Palace have lost two of their last three, though both defeats did come at Selhurst Park. The Eagles are flying high on their travels and make the short trip across the capital having won five of their last six away league matches, which includes a fine London Derby triumph at West Ham.

    Fulham are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Crystal Palace, yet have failed to win their last four welcomes of the Eagles. The spoils have been shared in the last two clashes between the London pair at Craven Cottage, and a third successive draw wouldn't be a surprise.
