Sunderland are without winger Simon Adingra, who is facing around six weeks out with an ankle injury. New signing Dayann Methalie, a £25.6m arrival from Toulouse, is available but will miss out through a one-match suspension carried over from his time in France. Omar Alderete is back in the squad after returning from Paraguay's World Cup campaign, where he picked up a knock in the last 16.
Fulham are missing midfielder Tom Cairney, who had surgery on a minor knee injury earlier this month and isn't expected back until after the September international break. Nordi Mukiele is fit again and is in line to replace Thomas Meunier at right-back. New arrival Jules Ahoka, signed from Royal Antwerp, is available for selection but may have to settle for a place on the bench.
