Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Fulham could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester United.

Fulham head coach Marco Silva is facing one key selection dilemma for Sunday's Premier League showdown with Manchester United at Craven Cottage.

The capital outfit strolled to a 2-0 victory over Leicester City last time out, where Emile Smith Rowe's diving header preceded an insurance goal from substitute Adama Traore.

The latter had come on for Alex Iwobi at half time and has now made his case to replace the former Arsenal man, who was reportedly suffering from illness before the battle with the Foxes.

Traore's pace and power could certainly pose serious problems for a depleted Man United defence, and so the 28-year-old might get the nod to join Smith Rowe, Raul Jimenez and Harry Wilson in an otherwise unchanged frontline.

Further back, midfielder Sasa Lukic will have to be especially careful, as his next yellow card would be his 10th of the Premier League season, one that would lead to a two-match suspension.

However, the Serbia international should not cede his spot alongside Sander Berge, while Timothy Castagne, Antonee Robinson, Calvin Bassey and Joachim Andersen ought to shield Bernd Leno in an unchanged backline once again.

Reiss Nelson (hamstring) and Kenny Tete (knee) are both still sidelined, but Silva otherwise has a full complement of options to pick from.

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