Fulham's only injury concern is with experienced winger Willian, who missed last weekend's defeat to Liverpool due to a minor groin problem that will be assessed ahead of kickoff against Palace.
Timothy Castagne scored his first goal for the Cottagers last time out and is expected to continue at right-back ahead of Kenny Tete, joining Tosin Adarabioyo, Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson in the back four.
Harrison Reed will be pushing to start in midfield ahead of Sasa Lukic, while Harry Wilson and Adama Traore will battle with Alex Iwobi and Bobby De Cordova-Reid for a place on the flanks as top scorer Rodrigo Muniz leads the line.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson; Palhinha, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, De Cordova-Reid; Muniz

Crystal Palace's injury concerns Sam Johnstone (elbow), Cheick Doucoure (Achilles), Marc Guehi (knee), Jefferson Lerma, Rob Holding (both thigh) and Matheus Franca (groin) all remain sidelined with injuries.
Michael Olise, who has been hampered with injuries for large spells of this season, began as a substitute in midweek, but the winger could work his way back into the first XI on Saturday at the expense of Jordan Ayew.
Glasner is unlikely to make too many other changes, if any, to his starting lineup, although Joel Ward could take the place of Nathaniel Clyne at right centre-back having recently recovered from injury.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Ward, Andersen, Richards; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Olise, Eze; Mateta
