Fulham have six players suffering from injury and suspension heading into the match on Sunday. Manor Solomon is out with a knee injury.
Silva will be without Harrison Reed, Kenny Tete, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid due to suspension. Star striker Aleksandr Mitrovic is ruled out of the game with an ankle injury. Neeskens Kebano will also miss the game following a calf injury.
Erik ten Hag could be without seven players as well. Diago Dalot is suspended following a suspension due to card accumulation. Defenders Raphael Varane and Brandon Williams are both out with injuries.
