Fulham have been boosted by the returns of Joao Paulinha, Willian and Tom Cairney for Sunday's clash with Manchester United.
United have already lifted one trophy this season but Erik ten Hag wants to add as much silverware to his collection as possible in his first campaign in charge. A high-flying Fulham stand in their way of a return to Wembley in the semi-finals.
The Cottagers are enjoying a fine season on their return to the Premier League and only lost to United before the World Cup due to a last-gasp Alejandro Garnacho winner.
The young winger will be unavailable for United this time around though due to an ankle ligament injury, as will Christian Eriksen, Antony, Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek. Fulham, meanwhile, will see three crucial players return for the trip to Old Trafford.

In a massive boost, commanding midfielder Paulinha will return from a two-game suspension. Fulham haven't picked up a single point in the league when the Portuguese has not been available. Manager Marco Silva said: "Joao is coming back from his ban."
Meanwhile, attacking duo Willian and Cairney will be available again after suffering with back and ankle injuries respectively in recent weeks. "Willian will be available," Silva added. "Tom Cairney is going to be available as well. Shane Duffy is getting better but will not be involved."
Right-back Cedric Soares is also back after being ineligible against parent club Arsenal last week but Layvin Kurzawa and Neeskens Kebano are still unavailable along with Duffy. Former United players Andreas Pereira and Daniel James will be hoping for a successful return to Old Trafford.
