Fulham enter their third-round Carabao Cup tie against Cambridge United on Tuesday in a buoyant mood.
A superb 3-1 derby victory over Brentford at the weekend extended their unbeaten run at Craven Cottage. This has built significant momentum for Marco Silva’s side as they look to progress in the cup. This fixture against League Two opposition provides the perfect opportunity for Silva to rotate his squad and give valuable minutes to players on the fringes.
With a fully fit squad to choose from, the manager will be confident that a much-changed side still possesses more than enough quality to avoid an upset and secure a place in the next round.
Marco Silva is expected to make wholesale changes to the team that beat Brentford, taking the opportunity to rest key players. He has a fully fit squad to select from, which is a significant advantage. Benjamin Lecomte is set to deputise in goal, while the likes of Issa Diop and Jorge Cuenca could form a new partnership in central defence.
The experienced duo of Tom Cairney and Harrison Reed are likely to start in midfield. Further forward, Harry Wilson, Emile Smith Rowe, and Adama Traoré will provide the creative spark for striker Raúl Jiménez.
Fulham predicted XI: Lecomte; Tete, Diop, Cuenca, Sessegnon; Cairney, Reed; Traore, Wilson, Smith-Rowe; Jimenez
