All signs point to a closely fought battle at the CBS Arena.

Fulham head into this as narrow favourites, with Opta assigning the visitors a 42.8% probability of taking the win.

Coventry sit just behind on 31.3%, while the draw stands at a 25.9% likelihood.

Alvaro Arbeloa makes just a single change from the side that overcame Hull last week.

Eintracht Frankfurt loanee Larsson steps into the midfield for his first league start, with Berge dropping out.

Elsewhere, Iwobi is set to record his 328th Premier League appearance, matching Mohammed Salah for the second-most outings by an African player.

Sessegnon is absent following his red card last week.

Frank Lampard sticks with the exact same starting line-up that took on Tottenham on Monday.

Rudoni keeps his spot in midfield, with the Englishman looking to net in a third successive match.

Rushworth starts in goal again, eager for a better display after his mistake led to a goal last time out.

Cherif gets the nod over Awonyi once more, with Awonyi still searching for his first goal for his new club.

Alvaro Arbeloa’s difficult beginning as Fulham boss came to a close last week when they claimed their maiden victory of the campaign at the seventh attempt.

Alex Iwobi struck into the bottom corner during the opening period to put his side ahead, maintaining that advantage until substitute Ryan Sessegnon picked up a straight red card deep into stoppage time.

Despite their slow opening, Arbeloa will take plenty of encouragement from draws already secured against Liverpool and Manchester United.

Coventry’s Premier League comeback has proven anything but simple, starting with four successive defeats without finding the net before bouncing back with wins against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.

Last week they faced a winless Tottenham, eventually suffering a 3-1 loss despite Jack Rudoni scoring an early equaliser in the second half.

That leaves them back in the relegation zone with only six points, sitting just one above today’s opponents.
