Fulham travel to Portman Road on Saturday still without a win, with Alvaro Arbeloa seeking his first in the Premier League at the sixth attempt.
They are 19th on two points and face Ipswich, Hull City and Coventry City in successive league games, all clubs promoted from the Championship last season. Fulham have lost only one of their last 15 Premier League fixtures against promoted clubs, winning nine and drawing five. They have not won any of their four Premier League meetings with Ipswich, drawing three and losing one.
Fulham team news
Captain Tom Cairney remains out with a knee injury. Kenny Tete is expected to return to the matchday squad after concussion. Timothy Castagne is still expected to keep the right-back place with Tete available.
David Affengruber is set to continue at centre-back alongside Calvin Bassey, with Joachim Andersen on the bench. Sander Berge and Shea Charles are expected to stay as the double pivot, so deadline-day signing Hugo Larsson may have to wait for a full Premier League debut.
Alex Iwobi, who has played regularly in central midfield, is expected to continue on the left flank ahead of Cesar Palacios, Kevin and Ryan Sessegnon. Oscar Bobb will hope to keep the right-wing spot and link up with teenager Joshua King in an advanced midfield role. Gonzalo Garcia is likely to lead the line ahead of Rodrigo Muniz, despite not having scored since the opening weekend of the season.
