Fulham are without key man Alexander Iwobi for this one after he limped out of last week’s draw against Brentford. Samuel Chukwueze came off the bench last week and starts against Aston Villa.
Raul Jimenez also starts up front while Sander Berge replaces Tom Cairney in midfield.
Fulham XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze; Raul Jimenez.
Subs: Lecomte (GK), Reed, Muniz, Cairney, Bobb, Kusi-Asare, King, Diop, Robinson.
There is no Amadou Onana for Villa today. We await news on that absence with the Europa League semi-final to come next week.
His absence means a return for Lamare Bogarde. Pau Torres is also back in defence and Emi Buendia starts over Ross Barkley in midfield.
Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Pau Torres, Digne; Tielemans, Bogarde; McGinn, Rogers, Buendia; Watkins.
Subs: Bizot (GK), Lindelof, Mings, Barkley, Abraham, Sancho, Luiz, Maatsen, Bailey
