Fulham lineup vs. Crystal Palace: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Fulham will be without three injured players for Saturday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage.

Reiss Nelson (thigh) Kenny Tete (knee) and Harry Wilson (fractured foot) all remain sidelined with injuries, with the former at risk of remaining out for the rest of this season, but Sasa Lukic has been passed fit after he was forced off with a muscle issue in the closing stages of Fulham's 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Lukic could therefore retain his place in centre-midfield alongside Sander Berge, forcing both Andreas Pereira and Tom Cairney to once again begin as substitutes.

Calvin Bassey scored the match-winner and his first goal of the season against Forest, and he is expected to continue in a four-man defence alongside Timothy Castagne, Joachim Andersen and Antonee Robinson.

Marco Silva was full of praise for Adama Traore after last weekend's victory and the powerful winger is in line to retain his place on the right flank as Alex Iwobi continues on the left. New recruit Willian is also a wide option at Silva's disposal.

Emile Smith Rowe was also on target against Forest and is set to continue in the number 10 role, while Raul Jimenez, Fulham's top scorer this season with 11 goals in all competitions, is expected to lead the line as Rodrigo Muniz provides cover on the substitutes' bench.

Fulham possible starting lineup: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez
