Fulham vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Team news and FA Cup updates

Fulham XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Willian; Jimenez.

Palace XI: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Mateta.

The big news for Palace is that Jean-Philippe Mateta has been cleared to make a return, so he will likely play upfront.

Elsewhere, Will Hughes will sit out this match due to suspension, while Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad are the longer-term absentees.

For the hosts, Sasa Lukic should return after serving his suspension, though Kenny Tete, Harry Wilson and Reiss Nelson remain sidelined until April at the earliest.

Other than that, Silva should have a full squad to choose from after the international break, with Lukic likely to partner Sander Berge in midfield.

In attack, Emile Smith Rowe will likely play centrally, with Raul Jimenez or Rodrigo Muniz leading the line.

The FA Cup quarter-final will kick off at 12.15pm on Saturday, 29 March at Craven Cottage in London.

The match will be shown free-to-air on ITV1, with coverage starting at 11.30am. Subscribers can also stream the action online via ITVX.
