Latest Fulham vs Crystal Palace team news
Fulham emerged from their nine-goal clash with Man City without further personnel losses, meaning Silva will only be without Antonee Robinson (knee) and Rodrigo Muniz (thigh) this weekend.
This isn't the first time in a Fulham shirt that Chukwueze has shown his "super-sub" qualities. Currently, the Nigerian winger is averaging a goal or assist every 46 minutes in the Premier League – the best rate in the league's history for any player who has played at least 200 minutes.
Silva faces a difficult dilemma: should he give Chukwueze a starting spot or continue to bring him on at crucial moments? However, given his recent performances, he almost certainly deserves a place in the starting lineup, possibly replacing Harry Wilson.
Palace also suffered no new injuries following their midweek win, and Glasner is hoping left-back Borna Sosa will recover in time from his collision.
However, Ismaila Sarr remains absent due to an ankle injury, while Cheick Doucoure (knee), Chadi Riad (knee), Caleb Kporha (back), and Rio Cardines (groin) will all miss Sunday's match.
Daichi Kamada was pushed further forward against Burnley in Sarr's absence, but Justin Devenny and Romain Esse were also options to replace Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has yet to score against Fulham in the Premier League.

Latest football match prediction: Fulham vs Crystal Palace
When Jeremy Doku's shot deflected off Sander Berge's leg and flew straight into the Fulham net – making it 5-1 for Man City in a match where Marco Silva's side were mercilessly thrashed – the fans at Craven Cottage had every reason to leave the stadium early.
However, two goals from Samuel Chukwueze and a strike from Alex Iwobi later ignited hopes of a spectacular comeback for Fulham. They nearly succeeded, if Josko Gvardiol hadn't made a last-ditch clearance on the goal line after Joshua King's shot in injury time.
Tuesday's dramatic match saw Fulham join an "unwanted club": becoming the third team after Norwich City and Tottenham Hotspur to lose a home Premier League game despite scoring four goals. But scoring four goals against Pep Guardiola's side was still a significant achievement.
Nevertheless, for Fulham, a point is still worth far more than a near-shock performance. Silva's team are currently 15th and only five points above the relegation zone, but that gap is also the same number of points behind Brighton & Hove Albion – who are in seventh place.
Fulham have won 9 of their last 17 points this season in their last 5 games, and only a resilient Arsenal side could prevent them from scoring at Craven Cottage in the 2025-26 season.
Coincidentally, only Arsenal have a better defense than Crystal Palace – Fulham's opponents this weekend. Palace have only conceded 11 goals since the start of the season and just kept their seventh clean sheet in the Premier League this week.
The two highly sought-after defenders were the ones who created the decisive moment against Burnley – Marc Guehi delivered a precise pass for Daniel Munoz to head in the only goal just before halftime.
Trying to break into the Champions League qualification group, Oliver Glasner's team are currently fifth and just one point behind Chelsea – who hold fourth place. Their current ranking could even be enough to secure a Champions League spot based on England's UEFA coefficient.
Inconsistency continues to plague the FA Cup champions, as evidenced by three wins, one draw, and two defeats in their last six Premier League matches. They are also looking for their first run of two consecutive London derby wins in the Premier League in over eight years.
Last season, Fulham and Crystal Palace both won 2-0 away from home, but it's hard to believe Fulham are still waiting for their first Premier League win against Palace at Craven Cottage since January 2005, when Andy Cole scored a brace.
