Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Fulham could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fulham could be without as many as five players for Thursday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at Craven Cottage.

Tom Cairney scored an equaliser and was later sent off in the Cottagers' 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, and he will now serve a one-match suspension, as will Sasa Lukic due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Harrison Reed (knee) is another midfielder unavailable for selection as he continues to recover from a knee injury, while defender Joachim Andersen (calf) is also sidelined. Thursday's game may also come too soon for Jorge Cuenca (knock).

Andreas Pereira missed the draw with Spurs in the wake of a recent interview in relation to a failed transfer to Marseille last summer. Marco Silva insisted that the Brazilian's omission was a "tactical decision" and has since confirmed that the midfielder is back in contention to play against Brighton.

Pereira could therefore make an immediate return to the first XI and may take the place of Lukic, partnering Sander Berge in centre-midfield, while Emile Smith Rowe continues in the number 10 role.

Raul Jimenez is at risk of being replaced by Rodrigo Muniz up front having failed to score in each of his last five starts, while Harry Wilson will continue to push Alex Iwobi and Reiss Nelson for a start on either flank.

A back four of Kenny Tete, Issa Diop, Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson is set to remain intact, protecting goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Fulham possible starting lineup: Leno; Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Nelson; Jimenez
