"Sandro Tonali is on the bench after manager Eddie Howe had said the playmaker was being monitored. "He did train but wasn't feeling 100%," Howe said, describing the Italy international's involvement as "touch and go." Howe makes one change by bringing in Joelinton for Jacob Ramsey, while full-backs Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall have returned to training following injuries. Harvey Barnes is a substitute again, having scored twice in 14 minutes against Benfica after coming off the bench in the 63rd minute."
""The very best performance will be needed," predicted Howe. "We know the qualities of [Fulham's] team. "These are difficult games for us, returning from a Champions League game. It is a mental challenge and we must rise to that. "It is all down to our attitude, our mentality. Our attitude must be the same for every game. Our attitude against Benfica was very good, our will to win was there. That needs to be every game.""

Fulham's 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal on the same day was the Cottagers' third consecutive defeat, leaving them three points above the relegation zone.
