Fulham centre half Brede Hangeland is rated doubtful for this match against a Stoke City side who welcome back Ryan Shawcross.
Shawcross returns after a one match suspension and is set to start for Tony Pulis' team alongside Abdoulaye Faye. Danny Collins will drop to the bench.
Midfielder Rory Delap may keep his place in the Stoke starting XI after being responsible for two goals in Stoke's 3-1 FA Cup victory over York City.
Upfront, James Beattie may again start, possibly in tandem with Ricardo Fuller, with Tuncay dropping back to the bench.
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson will hand youngster Chris Smalling another start if centre back Brede Hangeland isn't fit.
Returning for Fulham, however, will be Danny Murphy, Damien Duff and Chris Baird after the midfield trio were rested last time out.
Andy Johnson is fully match fit after his shoulder injury and will partner the in-form Bobby Zamora upfront.
