Fulham

Antonee Robinson is doubtful for Fulham after the ankle injury that forced him to miss the defeat at Ipswich, and Ryan Sessegnon is set to continue at left-back after making his first start of the last five matches there against Ipswich.

The Cottagers still have an open call at right-back: Timothy Castagne, who started four of the previous five games in that position, did not feature against Ipswich, with Kenny Tete coming in for his first start instead. David Affengruber, preferred in three of the last five matches on the right of central defence, is expected to partner Calvin Bassey again. Tom Cairney is also doubtful with a knee problem, although a return could be close.

Hull City

Hull's most notable team news centres on the right of midfield, where Mohamed Belloumi did not start the draw with Everton because of fatigue following international travel. Joe Gelhardt took his place and scored, and the pair remain in contention for that berth against Fulham.

Nobel Mendy is expected to retain his place in central defence, having started four of the last five matches there ahead of Lucas Herrington.

Jack Butland is very close to returning to the matchday squad after an arm injury, though Konstantinos Tzolakis is expected to continue in goal.
