Team News
Fulham
Marco Silva has the rare luxury of a fully fit squad and is expected to rotate heavily following the weekend’s derby win. Several key players will likely be rested, giving opportunities to squad members like Tom Cairney, Harrison Reed, and Raúl Jiménez.
Cambridge United
Cambridge manager Neil Harris will be without forward Louis Appere, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Harris may opt to field a strong side as his team looks to test themselves against top-flight opposition, though their away form has been inconsistent.
Form
Fulham
The Cottagers are in superb form, having won back-to-back games, including an impressive 3-1 victory over rivals Brentford. Their home form is particularly formidable. They are unbeaten at Craven Cottage this season, have won their last three in a row there, and have kept two clean sheets in the process.
Cambridge United
The U’s ended a two-match winless run with a 2-1 victory over Fleetwood Town on Saturday. Their cup form has been encouraging, including a win over League One Charlton in the previous round. However, they have failed to win their last two matches on the road.
Predicted Lineups
Fulham predicted XI: Lecomte; Tete, Diop, Cuenca, Sessegnon; Cairney, Reed; Traore, Wilson, Smith-Rowe; Jimenez.
Cambridge United predicted XI: Eastwood; Gibbons, Morrison, Watts, Purrington; Mpanzu, McLoughlin; Brophy, Kaikai, Mayor; Kouassi.
