Leicestervs.Fulham

Kenny Tete and Reiss Nelson remain sidelined with respective knee and thigh injuries, the former of whom is targeting a return between the end of March and the first weeks of April according to head coach Marco Silva.

However, Silva has also revealed that all of his other first-team players will be available for the trip to Leicester, meaning midfielder Sander Berge has recovered from an ankle injury that has kept him out of the last five matches.

It remains to be seen whether Berge will be thrown straight back into the starting lineup, though, and Silva may opt to stick with Sasa Lukic and Andreas Pereira in the middle of the pitch.

A back four of Timothy Castagne, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson is set to remain intact, the latter registered his eighth and ninth assists of the season in Fulham's 3-2 defeat at West Ham United on Tuesday.

Alex Iwobi was the beneficiary of both of those assists as he scored twice - albeit netting two intended crosses - and he is expected to continue on the left flank, as Harry Wilson and Emile Smith Rowe also provide support in the final third for central striker Raul Jimenez.

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