Fulham look to avoid a potential “cupset” when they travel north to take on Stoke City this weekend.
Stoke come into Sunday's FA Cup contest after a disappointing defeat at Charlton on Wednesday, while Fulham look to bounce back from a limp reversal at Man City.
The Cottagers have had the better of past encounters, but Monday's cup clash promises to be an evenly-matched and competitive affair.

Stoke team overview
Stoke City turn their attention to FA Cup action after a narrow 1:0 defeat against Charlton in the Championship earlier this week. Tyreece Campbell's late goal condemned the Potters to a frustrating road reversal.
Mark Robins's side have seen their promotion hopes seriously dented in recent weeks. Stoke picked up just three draws from six league games played since a 1:0 win against Coventry in the FA Cup third round.
A lack of firepower has been a huge issue for Robins's side. Stoke failed to score in four of their last six matches, including each of their last three fixtures.
Poor in recent home matches, the Potters slipped to defeat in three of their last four games at bet365 Stadium.
Head coach Robins has several absentees, including Bosun Lawal, who was forced off against Charlton, along with Divin Mubama, Robert Bozenik, Sam Gallagher, Lewis Baker, Junior Tchamadeu and Gavin Bazunu.

Fulham team overview
Fulham make the trip to bet365 Stadium after falling to a 3:0 defeat against Premier League title-chasers Manchester City. Three goals conceded in the opening period ensured a miserable night out for the Cottagers.
Marco Silva's side have not been at their best in recent weeks, losing four of their last five matches. Fulham had enjoyed a six-game unbeaten run before their recent downturn in performance.
Despite recent EPL stumbles, the Cottagers will be confident of picking up an FA Cup win this weekend. Fulham won all three previous matches against Stoke.
Head coach Silva has a couple of confirmed absentees this weekend. Tom Cairney and Sasa Lukic remain unavailable.
