Fulham manager Marco Silva is likely to field a handful of former Gunners for Sunday's Premier League London derby with Arsenal at Craven Cottage.

However, Reiss Nelson will not be among them, as the Arsenal loanee is ineligible to face his parent team and is also nursing a hamstring issue he sustained in the 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in midweek.

Nelson joins Tom Cairney (suspended), Harrison Reed (knee), and Joachim Andersen (calf) on Fulham's absentee list for Sunday's game, while Jorge Cuenca and Ryan Sessegnon are both touch-and-go.

While Nelson is a new absentee, Silva has Sasa Lukic back from a yellow-card suspension, and the Serbian could be a straight swap for the Gunners loanee if Silva opts for a more conservative setup.

Lukic joining Sander Berge in midfield would push Alex Iwobi further forward, where he will no doubt work in tandem with another Hale End star in Emile Smith Rowe, sure to receive a hugely warm reception from the travelling Arsenal fans.

Silva could swap out Harry Wilson for the explosive Adama Traore, though, while Rodrigo Muniz should also cede his place up front to Raul Jimenez as the Fulham boss reverts to a more recognisable team.

Kenny Tete for Timothy Castagne at right-back should be the only defensive alteration that the hosts make, though, as Antonee Robinson, Issa Diop and Calvin Bassey reprise their roles ahead of ex-Arsenal number one Bernd Leno.

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