There has been no change whatsoever in the Fulham medical bay, as central defensive duo Tosin Adarabioyo (groin) and Issa Diop (foot) remain out, meaning Bassey will be blessed with a chance to make amends alongside Tim Ream.
Kenny Tete (groin) and Adama Traore (muscle) are also out of contention for the time being, but Silva is not short of rotational options in the middle and final third, where Alex Iwobi, Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez could all offer something different.
Another blank for Jimenez would stretch his scoreless Premier League run to 32 games, but out on the left, Willian has two goals and two assists under his belt from five Premier League starts against Brighton.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Castagne, Bassey, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Jimenez

Alongside three precious points, Brighton came out of their triumph over Ajax without any fresh injury concerns to add to their list of existing absentees, although the same could not be said at the Etihad last weekend.
Indeed, Solly March and Danny Welbeck both left the pitch with knee and muscular problems respectively, and De Zerbi has conceded that the pair will be missing for a "long time".
Jakub Moder (knee) and Julio Enciso (knee) are keeping the pair company in the infirmary, while Pervis Estupinan (thigh) and Tariq Lamptey (muscle) are the closest to returning, but Sunday's game will come too soon for both full-backs.
