How Fulham could line up against Leeds United

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, are again unlikely to be able to call upon either Marek Rodak or Tom Cairney against Marcelo Bielsa 's side.

There could be a return for Bobby Decordova-Reid, though, and head coach Scott Parker is expected to make a couple of changes from the side that lost 3-0 to Manchester City on Saturday night.

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, while Ivan Cavaleiro might drop to the bench if Reid is indeed available for selection.

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; Reid, Lemina, Reed, Lookman; Loftus-Cheek; Maja
