Fulham could face a surprise upset courtesy of Charlton as they face off in the FA Cup third round tie on Saturday.

Fulham host Charlton Athletic at Craven Cottage for their first FA Cup clash on Saturday.

The London side face a difficult task against the League One leaders and are expected to start a strong side to ensure progression through the domestic competition.

Fresh off the back of his goal against Arsenal, Bobby Zamora is expected to start for the Cottagers, while Bryan Ruiz should be handed a place in Martin Jol's starting XI. Fulham skipper Danny Murphy is expected to be rested for the encounter.

Shaun Wright-Phillips's brother Bradley has been tipped to start for Charlton at the weekend.

Current Form:

Fulham: LWLDDW
Charlton Athletic: WDDWLW

Possible lineups:

Fulham: Etheridge; Kelly, Hangeland, Hughes, Briggs; Sidwell, Gecov, Ruiz, Dempsey; Dembele, Zamora

Charlton Athletic: Sullivan; Solly, Taylor, Morrison, Wiggins; Green, Hollands, Pritchard, Jackson; Wright-Phillips, Kermorgant

Sports Mole says: 1-2
