Nineteen Premier League teams have at least one stricken player in the infirmary at this moment in time, with the only exception being Fulham, who once again boast a fully-fit squad for the visit of Liverpool.
As a result, Silva will surely see no need to alter the winning formula from last weekend's beating of West Ham, especially when taking into consideration the volume of chances his side created, so Harry Wilson should accept a spot on the bench against his old team.
The hitherto red-hot Rodrigo Muniz endeavours to end a three-game goal drought on Sunday, while London Stadium hero Pereira pulls the strings in the number 10 role, after becoming the first Cottagers man to score twice in a Premier League London derby away from home since Dimitar Berbatov did so against Arsenal in 2012.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson; Palhinha, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Muniz

Liverpool's treatment room has cleared out significantly, the Reds remain without long-term trio Ben Doak (knee), Joel Matip (knee) and Thiago Alcantara (muscle), while Conor Bradley will take a couple of weeks to recover from the ankle issue he picked up last weekend.
There is also a question mark over Stefan Bajcetic's availability after the 19-year-old - who returned from a calf problem for the Under-21s last Friday - failed to make the trip to Bergamo, and Klopp conceded after Thursday's win that both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alexis Mac Allister were running on empty.
Joe Gomez and Wataru Endo should therefore ready themselves for recalls to the first XI, while Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota - at opposite ends of the big chances converted spectrum - could freshen up the attacking trident.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Gomez, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Endo, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Jota
