Nottingham Forest will be without Morgan Gibbs-White, who is suspended as a result of his red card last week against Brighton.

Willy Boly is nearing full fitness but Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo remain long-term absentees.

Match facts

Head-to-head

  • Fulham have won eight of the past 11 league meetings.

  • The Cottagers have recorded 42 league wins against Nottingham Forest, more than against any other opposition.

Nottingham Forest

  • Forest are aiming to go six league games unbeaten from the start of a season for the first time since 2014-15, and first in the Premier League since 1995-96.

  • However, they are without a win in their past five home league matches (D3, L2).

  • Their last league victory at the City Ground was 3-1 against Fulham in April.

  • Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are the only team in the Premier League this season to open the scoring in all five of their fixtures.

  • Chris Wood has scored 14 goals in 21 Premier League appearances since Espirito Santo’s appointment.

  • Wood can become the first Forest player to score in his first three home games of a top-flight campaign since Peter Davenport in 1984-85.

Fulham

  • A Fulham victory would give them 11 points, equalling their highest points tally after six matches of a Premier League season.

  • Marco Silva’s side have had 28 shots on target so far this season; only Manchester City (36), Tottenham (35) and Liverpool (34) have had more in the Premier League.

  • They have conceded once in each of their five league games this season.

  • Raul Jimenez has scored eight goals in his past nine league starts.

  • Jimenez is one away from becoming just the second Mexican player to score 50 goals in the Premier League, after Javier Hernandez (53).

  • Adama Traore has two goals and three assists in his last six league games.
