Fulham will face Middlesbrough this afternoon in an attempt to reach the FA Cup fourth round and continue their five-match unbeaten run.
The team is in good spirits after a 2-1 victory against Chelsea in the West London derby. Despite missing several key players due to international commitments, Fulham has a strong home record this season and is favored to win against their Championship rivals.
Fulham Team News
Manager Marco Silva is coping with a reduced squad because of the Africa Cup of Nations. Players like Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, and Samuel Chukwueze are unavailable as Nigeria prepares for the quarter-finals. Additionally, striker Rodrigo Muniz is out, and Josh King and Kenny Tete are still not match-fit.
Silva is expected to rely on his squad depth. Ryan Sessegnon may start on the wing after a strong performance as a substitute recently. Bernd Leno will likely be in goal, supported by a defense including Joachim Andersen and Igor Julio. In midfield, Sasa Lukić and captain Tom Cairney could work together, with Raúl Jiménez leading the attack as Fulham looks to maintain their success in the third round.

Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Diop, Andersen, Cuenca; Castagne, Lukić, Cairney, Robinson; Smith Rowe, Kevin, Jiménez
