Fulham will be looking to move out of the Premier League relegation zone when they welcome Leeds United to Craven Cottage on Friday night.

The Cottagers, who are currently two points behind 17th-placed Newcastle United, will again be unable to call upon either Marek Rodak or Tom Cairney against Marcelo Bielsa's side.

Bobby Decordova-Reid was thought to be in line for a return, but the attacker is still struggling with a hamstring problem, meaning that Ivan Cavaleiro should keep his place in the side following Saturday's lost 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.

The back four and goalkeeper are likely to remain unchanged, while Harrison Reed and Mario Lemina should again feature in the middle of the park for the relegation-threatened outfit.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek played as a centre-forward against Man City but could drop back to the number 10 position for this game, allowing Josh Maja to lead the attack.

Andre-Frank Anguissa could be the player to drop out in the middle of the park; Parker has options elsewhere with Aleksandar Mitrovic and Antonee Robinson pushing for positions in the XI, but the head coach is expected to stick with the bulk of the side that has impressed in recent weeks.

Fulham possible starting lineup: Areola; Tete, Andersen, Adarabioyo, Aina; Cavaleiro, Lemina, Reed, Lookman; Loftus-Cheek; Maja
