Fulham defender Chris Baird's wife and child are ill, but boss Roy Hodgson is hopeful the player will be available this weekend.
Diomansy Kamara remains sidelined following knee surgery and midfielder Andranik Teymourian is also still out
Manchester City are without midfielder Elano, who will be sidelined for up to 10 days with a groin strain.
Robinho (ankle), Shaun Wright Phillips (knee) and Micah Richards (ankle) remain doubtful.
Fulham (from): Schwarzer, Zuberbuhler, Hughes, Baird, Leijer, Kallio, Hangeland, Stoor, Pantsil, Konchesky, Davies, Gera, Gray, Andreasen, Bullard, Dempsey, Murphy, Etuhu, Seol, Zamora, Johnson, Nevland.
Man City (from): Hart, Zabaleta, Richards, Dunne, Garrido, Ball, Wright-Phillips, Ireland, Kompany, Robinho, Vassell, Hamann, Benjani Mwaruwari, Jo, Sturridge, Ben Haim, Schmeichel, Onuoha, Evans.
Fulham midfielder Simon Davies:
"It should be an entertaining game. But we don't want to forget our discipline because the manager drills the shape of the team into us.
"City have got some fantastic attacking players and they'll be a threat for us but we've been awesome at home so far and hopefully we can come out on top."
Manchester City boss Mark Hughes:
"You can see the confidence in their side.
"Fulham are playing really well and have had some positive results. It also is a difficult place to go when they get the crowd behind them.
"They have a lot players with Premier League experience. Andrew Johnson and (Bobby) Zamora are a handful. It is a big test for us and we will need the correct attitude."
