Kuwait's main striker, Yousef Nasser, who has conceded 55 goals in 121 appearances for the national team, will return and lead the attack from the start, after missing the recent defeat to Oman.
Domestic teammates Mohammad Daham and Ahmad Zanki are likely to continue to provide support from the flanks, with Ahmed Al-Dhefiri likely to start in the central striker role.
Key midfielder Sultan Al-Enezi will miss the final two qualifiers, so Redha Hani could be brought in to partner Jasem Al-Mutar in midfield.
Palestine's attack will continue to be led by talented young striker Wessam Abou Ali, who scored his third international goal in his last match and has scored 28 goals in 35 Egyptian league games for Al Ahly since the start of the season, including four in his last match at the end of May.
He will be supported by on-loan striker Oday Dabbagh from Aberdeen, who has 16 goals in 44 caps, and Tamer Seyam, who has 14 goals in 68 caps for his country.
In midfield, Oday Kharoub and Ataa Jaber will continue their partnership after the win over Iraq in March, while Ameed Mahajneh, who scored the winner in that game, is likely to partner Michel Termanini in a back four.

Latest Kuwait vs Palestine football commentary
Kuwait return to action for the first time since March on Thursday hoping to keep their Asian World Cup qualifying chances alive ahead of their final game.
They entered the qualifying round from the second round and finished second in the group with 7 points after 6 matches to qualify for the third round, Group B.
However, Al-Azraq are currently bottom of the table and almost eliminated, with only 5 points after 8 matches, despite losing only 3 matches but not winning any, most recently only getting 1 point in 2 matches in March.
Starting with a painful 2-2 draw away to Iraq, where they led 2-0 thanks to a Yousef Nasser brace until injury time, before being equalised, and then recently losing 0-1 at home to Oman, the only goal scored by Issam Al Sabhi.
Currently five points behind fourth place – the last place in the fourth qualifying round – with six points still available, Kuwait enter Thursday's match with a must-win task to have any chance of extending their hopes to next weekend's match.
The away team Palestine also need a win to maintain the race for the top four until the final round, they had similar difficulties in round three but regained some confidence in the most recent match.
Palestine also started qualifying from the second round and finished second in the group, just behind Australia with 8 points after 6 matches.
However, they were almost eliminated in Group B round three with only 3 points after 3 remaining matches, going through 4 losses and 3 draws, including a 1-3 defeat at Jordan in their return to competition in March.
However, Lions of Canaan kept their hopes alive with a 2-1 home win over Iraq, thanks to a late comeback, with Wessam Abou Ali equalising in the 88th minute and Ameed Mahajneh scoring the winner in stoppage time.
That win moved Palestine above hosts Kuwait with two games remaining in round three, although they are still four points behind fourth-placed teams, needing another win to keep their hopes alive and also hoping Iraq or Oman drop points in their other games.
